Hello Everyone. I am not sure if this is the best place to ask but hopefully someone can at least point me in the right direction. First off I am not a modder so this is all new to me. I came accross a 996 GT3 mod and want to try and fix a few basic issues I see with it. The main issue is with the tire size. It has the fronts and rears as being 225/35/R18. That is close for the front but way off for the rear. Below are the wheel and tire sizes as they should be.
I Know that Content Manager can swap tires and the tire/wheel size from the Cayman GT4 are not drastically different from the real GT3.
- WHEEL SIZE FRONT18 x 8.5
- WHEEL SIZE REAR18 x 11
- TIRE SIZE FRONT235/40ZR-18
- TIRE SIZE REAR295/30ZR-18
245/30/R19
295/25/R19
If I just swap those is there anything else in the data file that needs to be changed? It is such a drastic change from what is there now I just want to make sure it would not mess anything else up.
Ideally I would love to know how to make a correct set of tires in the right size and compound but for now just getting closer would be great.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
The safest way to do this is first make a copy of the tyre .ini inside data, that way you can always go back to what was there before the conversion.
do the tyre swap with content manager, it is not going to do anything bad. the worse is that the rear tyre might be too much in the ground or not touching because of the difference in size, front are almost the same. but this can be fix by altering rim radius. in any case it is just aesthetic, it does not affect the tyre performance, so you can try first to drive it with the GT4 tire and see how it feels.
