Hello follow Porsche fanatics. I realize this topic has been discussed, many times. My specific question is the pros and cons of running 195/50/15 on factory fenders. Currently running 205/60/15, which almost rub on one side. (see photo). My thought was that 50 ratio tires would clear the fenders better.
 Realistically, my plan is to track my car and take it to shows. I want tires that are better for track conditions, such as Toyo Proxes R1R's. My car has been lowered, also hoping running 50 ratio tires will help with handling. Also noting that the speedo will be off by approximately 10 mph. I am missing anything?  |

If the fit is tight, i'd roll the fenders a bit.
Also, track/performance tires tend to have wider contact surfaces than street tires, so a 195 Toyo may end up being wider than a 205 street tire. Been there, done that ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
