I’m considering purchasing a set of 19” TE37 wheels for my 996 turbo.

For the rears, it seems they offer 19 x11 with either +45 or +63 offset. As for the fronts they only offer 19 x 8.5 (either +45 or +52) or 19 x 9.5 with a +40.

I’d like to run a 305/30 out back and 235/35 up front. I've rolled the fenders to add additional clearance.

Can anyone suggest which would fit best?

Thanks.

 

19x11 +45

19x8.5 +45

 

Thanks. Is it possible to run any wider or is 305 pretty much the limit without running GT2 inner fenders?

 

315/25/19 will work with the correct offset.

 

Given the above choices, what would you suggest?

 

315/25/19s will fit fine with the 19x11 +45 rears. Thats the most common 19" rear tire size for the car

 

Agree. You can even run 7mm - 15mm spacers to give a more flush look.

 

I know it's a hotly debated topic, but to be certain you will not burn up your differential, you have to go with the 315/25 in the rear with the 235/35 up front. Depending on brand of rubber, it may vary slightly also. Some say they have had no "issues" with the 305/30 rear set up with those fronts, but I would not want to confuse good luck with good practice. Do a search and you will find may threads addressing this topic.

 

I just saw you are in SoCal. I just bought a pair of PS2 315/25/19's for a great price locally. PM me if you decide to go that route.
