325 Michelin Pilot 4S, absolutely perfect fit.

[DanMpower]

Guys, the comment about "taming the beast on the track with 325s in the rear" was just poking fun. It will never see the track in it's current form, I'm embarrassed to admit it but the wear indicators on my CCB rotors still show them like new after almost 20k miles.

If I do ever decided to track the car, I will get an extra proper set of wheels/tires no doubt.

Another booty shot for fun and to lighten up the thread.

Looks awesome! Nicely done!

+1 for getting those under there! I'm trawling Porsche forums trying to get worn 265 35 20 to see if they'll fit the front without rubbing...

325/30x19 Cup2's may fit. 315's on a 19x11 ET 43 has exactly the same poke as a stock 10" wheel and 285 with 10mm spacers.

Nice and meaty! Just how I like it.

Love it! 98% of these cars won't be tracked, what matters is that the owner is happy... it looks great and I'm sure the extra grip helps for 'straight' line acceleration.

I think you guys are looking at this “track balance” issue the wrong way. You can already fit a 295 or 305 up front with track spec camber, so then having a 325 rear turns out to not be a big deal and will not throw off balance like people are thinking. With the hp/tq our cars have, especially when tuned or ethanol tuned, a wide rear tire is exactly what we need.

What width/ specs do you need to run a 295 or 305 front? On 19’s

[RSXDC5]

For my fronts I run a 295/30/19 Michelin 4S on a 19x10.5 +20, -3.0 camber & no spacer. I ran a Bridgestone S007a before the Michelins in the same size as well

What suspension?

[RSXDC5]

Oem dampers & swift springs + camber plates. Although I have a set of MCS 2-way external reservoir dampers about to go on the car, which should provide similar or better inner clearance vs oem.

Do me a favor - see if you'd have another 1/2 in clearance for diameter on the rear? The dream is Cup2 R 265 35 20 and 325 30 21 !

Don't hold your breath! A 265/35 20 will NOT fit any F8x.

To run this tire size you need to remove the inner fender liner.

Edit: Also a 325/30 21 is way too tall for the rear.

The first obstacle is the tyre hitting the strut! I can't get my little finger in the gap. Lucky they do a 305 30 20 in Cup2 R. The diameter increase in front and rear matches - IF you could run the 265 35 20 .
I only try to think these things possible as you can't get Cup2 in 265 30 20, and I can't get hold of Goodyear Supersport R (actually made in 265 30 20 and 285 30 20) for three months.

Dan do you any camber adjustment on the back to fit that 325?

Nope, no extra special camber needed. Fits like a glove with no issues or rubbing to report.

If running 12 et45-47 on rear, you need to have at least -2.5 to clear. But about 1-1.5 inch of tire does not really contact the ground

11.5 et45 is probably the best for 325. With -2 and having more contact to the ground

[RSXDC5]

Next time I need new rear tires I’m getting 325’s. Currently on a 19x11.5 +44 so seems about as ideal as a fitment as can be!
