Need Volk TE37 Offset Help

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.

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.

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.
