James P Posted 11September, 2017 Report Share Posted 11September, 2017 Welcome nice first post what city are you in? very nice Carrera... Im surprised it took so long to sell, i remember it well when my Carrera 3.0 was for sale & ended up going to L.A.The rear tyres on my C3 were 225/50-15 but i don't think that was standard but helped with acceleration Looks like standard was 215/60-15 http://carreramfi.com/specs.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
