Show Me Your 911 with 8s and 245x45x16

[brcorp]

I'm planning on moving my 225x50x16s from the rear to front (7s)and buying some 245X45X16s for the rears (8s). Show me yours so I can see before I buy.

Not a great picture of the tires(I wasn't trying to showcase the tires when I took it), but it does show that 245's can fit decently on 8" rims (i.e. no obscene bulging sidewalls).

Here's some pictures of a 245/45-16 on a 16x8 944 Turbo phone dial wheel. The offset of this wheel is +23.3mm so you can see that the wheel/tire combo has more room to be moved outward. This is why a +10.6mm o/s 16x8 Fuchs or the +15mm o/s 16x9 Fuchs wheel is a better choice.







This is a comparison between a 225/50 Kumho Ecsta MX on a 16x7 Fuchs (left) and a 245/45 Yokohama AVS ES100 on a 16x8 944 Turbo phone dial

Here's a 9x16 with 245/45:

I think the looks depends a lot on tire brand and type.

Ooo, a classic!

Looks like you have a 74 driver's side mirro, and a 73 passenger side?

Oh I thought you meant 245s on 8s in the front:



Couldn't resist...
