    Hey Scott,

    If you can get something organized, I would be in for a pair. Would like a matching pair for the front too @ 225 width.

    BR,

    I too would love a matching 225 for up front. I don't think Yokohama is making those though (which makes absolutely no sense when they're still making the 285/40 rears).

    If a couple guys are seriously interested in the 285s I'll see if I can get a lower price. I'll also do some more digging for front tires.

    Yep that's why I don't run 9&11x15's on my 911. I can't justify Michelin TB15 tires (plus I think they're heavy) every few thousand miles. I'm also not a fan of mismatched tires (no matching front Yoko). Then of course theres the cost of the 9&11x15 Fuchs!

    Getting decent street tires for my 8&9x15 Fuchs is hard enough.

    After saying all that...I absolutely LOVE fat 15" Fuchs on widebody 911s!

    Scott,

    I really like those Zuffenhaus 17" Fuchs and Michelins that I traded you for. I'm thinking of buying another new set for another car (in RSR finish)... unless you have another set hiding in your storage barn

    I wish. At the moment I have zero extra wheels. Well...I do have 2 space saver spares but that's it!

    Strangely enough I was thinking about those Zuffenhaus Fuchs this morning. I'll probably be contacting them soon to make up another set of custom offset/width wheels for me, probably in RSR finish this time.

    Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to discuss Zuffenhaus Fuchs in greater detail. I don't know what the current wait time is (especially for custom requests) but regardless it's worth it.
