Message	Now that my slicktop TT is up and running I've been having serious traction issues with my 255/50's (I know, puny) slicks on stock wheels at 16psi. I track my Z every month at SCCA Auto-X and now that im old enough I'm going to get into bigger events such as Porsche club and maybe head to some tracks every now and then. My two questions are: 1.) What is the max width tire I can get on the stock 71/2" front and 81/2" tt rims? 2.)What would be the best buy for a set of lightweight rims? They need to be as light as possible, 5-spoke, and wider than stock, 295/35's would be badass!
