The only problem is going to be understeer. Going from a 30mm front/rear stagger to 60mm is going to dial in a lot of understeer.

Now it worked well on the 911s because, as you know, those things can be a little tail happy.

It's probably fine for a street driven car, though.

I have trouble getting the car out of terminal understeer with 265/285, good luck with 245 and 305. I guess for the street it doesn't matter.

Can you run 305 rears on sport wheels with 25mm spacers without having to play with camber?

As to the stagger in my street trim on my last car I ran 255 fronts and 305 rears - handled great - was putting down 640 in street trim.
