Widest tires...

Hey all,

What's the widest tire that you've been able to fit in the rear without rubbing on a NB 911 with a 19" wheel versus an 18" wheel. Thanks!

I also have a 2001 NB with 19's. I'm running 295/30/19's with rolled vendors. The rims are DCR's Laguna Secas and are 11" wide. It is close, but no rubbing for me. Looks great / IMO.

Hi. Yes, I'm lowered on Bilstein PSS9's. When I bought it I was slammed, but raised it about 1/2 inch. Rides better and does not scrape so much. I never really rubbed, but I did hit bump stops on a big bumps. I don't know my offsets, but my rears do not stick out past the bumper.

Are you on 19X10"s? I really don't know offsets of mine, I just know they don't rub. Some others with 19X10's with spacers rub.

Theres a few threads on running 315's on 19X11's on NB. Im looking to do that due to traction issues.

I'm running 305/30/19 on a 19x11 et 58 on my mk2 NB. Stock suspension height, autox alignment. No rubbing.
I'm pretty sure I could run 315/30/19 on a 19x11 et 63 without rubbing. My next set of tires I will probably do that.
