Wheel fitment question
#16
As I know it when you increase the width of the tire the side/profile increases as well. You don't have to decrease the profile with every cm you add to the with but if you add between 2-3cm to your width you have to decrease the profile number in order to keep it balanced.
OEM Carrera tires are: 265/40/18 which translates to 265/35/19
OEM Carrera S tires are: 295/30/19
So this shows that you need to decrease the profile when you increase the width 2-3cm.
What do you think about that?

you are correct but the 315 isnt wide enough to compensate for the lower profile. go to tirerack and see that actuall height. there you can see that its still shorter
my original post was for the C2 fitment. if you want to go 20's, you can fit the 325 on a 12 as well. with a C4, you got all kinds of room

I was seriously considering getting those wheels. There are 2 problems:
1- For some reason I have heard that a lot of people had problems with iForged... There were couple of threads on the forum that the wheels were making noises and shaking... I talked to Dan from Vividracing and my dealership, they both said that it was poor quality.
2- If you really carefully check the pictures of the TE14 on the GT3 you will see that the holes are really close to the edge of the center... I don't know if it would be safe... I am attaching a picture for you to see what I mean.

A 325/25/19 tire is only 25.2" tall...some .9" shorter than the OEM 295/30/19. It doesn't always work out right...I understand the way you calculated it but the fact is most manafacturers that make this size list the tire as only 25.2" tall. Way to short in my opinion...will it fit..yea, but it won't be right.

I know quite a few people who have iForged and they had no issues. I also have heard the horror stories. Most of the issues I have heard about them is getting the wheels after you paid for them. These are in stock should have no issues with these. I would be all over them if they were silver.
