Rim and Tire Sizes for C4S

I'm looking for aftermarket rims for my C4S and was wondering whats the best fit? What size tires fits best on 19 or 20 inch rims? Post pictures of your cars with rims so I can get an idea of what type of look to go with. Anyone have Victor Equipment Mulsanne rims? What do you think of these?

I don't want to cheap out but I just brought home a new born 3 weeks ago. Guess I will have to hold off a little longer on rims and tires. What size tires? 235/35 front and 305/25 rear?

Congrats on the new born.
You can run a 235/35 front and 315/25 for the rear.

Thanks. Lucky I don't have to get rid of the car and get a socker mom ride. Funds for the mods are tight now.

Since I live in boston and with all the pot holes we got over here, could I go with 315/30 rear? My brother got 25 on his Hamman HM2 on his M3 and they are bent because of the terrible roads we have to deal with.

i'd sit tight until you can splurge a bit on wheels. i run 315/25/19s on 19x12s on mine and i've had no issues with bent wheels.

wheels get bent period. stock wheels, aftermarket wheels, etc. just use caution when driving.

Congrats on baby.....

I was in JP on sat for a soccer game. I couldn't believe how bad the roads were. Reminded me that I probably wouldn't have my pcar if I still commuted into Boston.

I do use caution whenever I'm driving in the city. Sometimes you just can't avoid them with all the traffic. I'll wait until I can get respectable wheels. Good thing this isn't my DD.

Thanks, I actually thought about getting a baby seat for my pcar. How do you have your baby in the front seat and your girl in the back?

I wouldn't own my 911 if I didn't have a proper daily driver. It's just too pretty. And it is uncomfortable for daily duty. Parking in weird places. Crazy curbs. Slopes. Thank goodness I know my city.

Thats the reason why I have a dead battery because I don't drive it around as much. I have a battery on order and a tender. Getting ready for the summer.
