post-7835-1199213461_thumb.jpgAm looking at a set of 19's for my 986 (base) and wondering if they will fit.

Fronts are 19/8.5/et52 with 235/35's and

rears are 19/10/et52 with 275/30"s.

Thanks for any help

what r u riding with now?

I had 17" upgraded to 18" as posted 1 of my topics. but ride comfort decrease is very noticable.

I'm sure 19" is going to be very rough .Also when u get to lower than 30 series side walls ,u seriously gonna lose your handling capability.

Just not enough sidewall height for cornering. Sure 19' s will fir with some spacers & look good .

But the other hand substantial amount of compromising on many other things!

Currently on the OEM 17's.

The wheels were on a 2000 996-C2 and the owner claims the ride wasn't bad.
