Anyone fitted 305 on the rear 9 1/2?
I drove the car 10K miles in the last 7 months and now my rears are slicks.
Not bad, I expected worse, I think I am showing some self constraint here!
275/35/19 is clearly not wide enough, how wide can I go on the 9 1/2" rear wheel without it looking funny or touching the fender?
I have some Michelin PS2's that I was going to put on my GT3, would 305/35/19 fit?

Any brand of 305 tire I know of requires a minimum of a 10.5" wide wheel. You could probably get it on the 9.5 wheel but it would wear out quickly in the middle, and perform very "weird" because the tread contact patch would be very distorted. Tire specs are NOT a minor issue......they are very important to your ride and handling.
