thanks folks, much appreciated. interesting info on the larger diameter - there's one straight into chicane on our local track where i'm faced with either short shifting or bouncing off the rev limiter (depending on how fast i come out of the corner before the straight); having more gear might be better here.

lots of choices; again i appreciate the discussion and info.

ps, if i were to try and squeeze 255/285s in there, what offsets would work? i currently am 1.5" lower w -1.5 front -1 rear camber. front wheels are 8.5" wide ET 53 and from what i can tell a 7 mm spacer should get me 245s, and somewhere in 10 to 15 mm will fit a 255. in the rear no idea; wheels are 10" wide ET 40.

and, not really related, if people are fitting 285 mm wide tires with no issue, and a 11" wheel is 280 mm wide, how come everyone on the internet says you can't fit 11" wheels? is it a coilover vs stock suspension thing? would certainly open up the range of wheels available if we could fit more 996 wheels.
