I have a few questions about wheels and tires on a 997 C4S. First, will 19x8.5 and 19x12 fit without rubbing or fender rolling being necessary? If so, what is the ideal offset for each? And will the stock 235s and 305s be wide enough or will I need to go up to 315s or 325s in the rear? TIA.

 

Nobody? Would I have better luck asking in the 997 Turbo section since they have the same fender width?

 

I have 19x8.5 + 19x12 with stock tires..
the rears do stretch a little but it's fine..
I'm not sure about the offsets..
here's a pic using a crappy cellphone..

 

Very nice. It's hard to tell from the picture, are the tires stretched a lot or is it pretty minimal?

 

I would say it is not too minimal..
not too much either...
it's just fine...

 

i had 305's on the car... i felt it streched too much so i changed to 315.

I will take some pix tomorrow and post.

315/25/19?

 

yep.. on PS2's

 

My c2s cab came stock with 305's on the back with the Porsche Carrera Sport wheel.

 

but doesn't that make the overall diameter of the wheel+tire smaller than stock?
how does it look?
it would be really nice if you can post pics..
thanks

 

Did you get wheels yet?
