Isn't 26.7" too high? I would run them but I have a feeling I would rub on my pss9's set to GT2 height.

225/40/19 in the fronts are very close for me in terms of rubbing when the steering wheel is fully turned (might even be rubbing, but I don't notice it). I checked the clearance right when I installed the wheels and it looks tight.

245/40/19 would be too tall for the fronts from what I can tall.

I have 305/30/19 on the rears.

when i had 305/30/19s on my car, they rubbed the fenders, and the wheel liner because they were too tall. I had to buy some 305/25/19s pirellis clearanced on ebay. So im gonna guess that 325/30/19 is going to be worse?

Yes, they're too tall. It depends on your specific suspension setup and the particular tire though since some may fit. I know most will not and will rub at full lock and/or at full suspension compression.

I'm still trying to find out whether I can run the 325/30-19 on the rear or not. I have stock suspension and 19" HRE P43R wheels. Anybody running this size on a 996 WB with stock suspension, either Turbo or C4S? Bueller? Bueller?

I'd run a 245/35-19 in the front to match with the larger rears. I get 22.376" for the total height of that front rim/tire combo versus 22.238" for the 235/35-19 size I'm using now, which I have absolutely zero issues with. I can't imagine the extra .138" will make a difference on clearance, but stranger things have happened!
