83 944 cup 2 tire size
I have a set of cup 2 wheels on my 83 944 they are offset 7.5 and 9 inches. the rear tires are 255/50-17 which makes them 25 inches tall. The current front tires on the 7.5 wheel are 205/50-17 which are 25.1 tall and 8.1 wide. the OEM size for that wheel from Porsche is 225/45-17 which is also 25 tall but is 8.9 wide. The .1 in height is negligible but will the .8 in width make a big difference? There seems to be plenty of clearance for a slightly wider tire. Trying to figure out why the previous owners had a 205 instead of a 225 and trying to figure out what is best for my 944
thank you,
