Herbmiester 923 Report post Posted March 8, 2016 245 or perhaps 255 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1162 Report post Posted March 8, 2016 I think 245 is optimal, but a 255 will fit (I have 8.5" wide wheels with both). I don't know what the widest you could squeeze on would be, but your handling will be pants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard 384 Report post Posted March 8, 2016 darn, have the opportunity to score some free 370mm race slicks . Really just want then so I can push the car around in the garage. but if they don't fit they don't fit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 8, 2016 370mm? Jeebus, thats somewhere around a 13 1/2" width! What the hell did they come off?! Will make handy crash pads in the shed but! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted March 8, 2016 You sure they are not 270's Also check the tyre height could be 65 or 650 possibly 680's (think that was on the rear of the porsche GT3's with a 240 or 250/650 on the front [sometime shown as 24/65]) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
