The 295/30/19 and 305/30/19 is fine for the 997 giving it a close to 26" OD but the mistake which is common is some use the 295/30/19 in the rear since the stock tires were 295 in 18".... 19" changes it all... You should go to either a 305/25/19 or 315/25/19 to make it right. Not as big of a problem for the C2 but for the C4 C4s and Turbo it's not a good ideal....

BOXER-

the fronts are 25.5" and the rear is 26.0. Difference is 0.5" which EXCEEDS the [generally agreed upon] maximum of 0.3". Recognize that the stock wheel/tire 'mismatch' is 0.1" on the 996TT...so three tenths (0.3) is already more than stock specs. Your half inch is way too much, IMO

Unlike the 996TT, the 997TT has a 'designed mismatch' of 0.5", but the 996tt is designed for the same sizes front and rear.

 

gosh I missed this reply....so it looks like they're coming off then. I didn't realize this when I bought the wheels.


thanks for the reply guys, I really appreciate it!!!

 

wow....I was just looking for 305/25/19 rear tires, and wow, there's not too many choices ....I only have 11" wide wheels

 

Wow you guys tossed him a super save, well done.

 

Pirelli is going to be your best bet to match the front and rear should you want to go with a matching set. 11" is totally fine on the 305 or 315, just got to make sure your set up is correct, PM or reply here if you have other questions regarding your set up.
