With Carrera GT flares i believe the biggest is 245 possibly 255 max.
400hp  Sounds like a monster

Well, have the stock body rear. Looking to upgrade body, because right now 215 mm tires (215/45/16) are tight in there. The limitation right now is flare.
What I am wondering is what is the max tire size on the 944? 944 Turbo? 944 S2? Carerra GT? |
I am guessing you don't want to reveal what your using on this top secret project.

It's more like I have no clue. I'm not the chef, just the guy sitting at the table....

I'm no suspension specialist but that's one hell of a decision to be left up to "some guy". |

Well, this is HiTech Motorsport. They have years experience in performance and the racing scene. I honestly don't remember all the details, and I honestly didn't want to be there to tell them what to do on this. I told them that they know what they are doing, and I may want to add a little seasoning or spice here or there. I've asked for the exhaust to be moderately quiet (don't want to drive a racecar to work) and for it to be comfortable driving down the road as this will be a daily driven summer vehicle. Other then that, they have designed the car to be able to handle both road and track. I'm looking forward to taking it out, although I'll be a little shy for a while with 215 mm tires on the rear.... That is the biggest concern I'm going to have right away 
Teething concerns

If it's any help I have 265 50 15's on mine with a body kit. They scrape a bit with a couple of guys in the back though.

I know there are some 951 racecars that runs on 255 on all four corners. Probably could go wider....
