Is this for a 986 or 987?

You can either run a 265/35/18 which WILL fit on a 10" wheel. The tire will just look a little bit stretched.

I personally run a 285/30/18 on my 10" rear wheels. This is also a factory Porsche tire size.

What is the offset of your wheels? Ultimately this will determin what size tire you can run.
