im no expert but from what i went thru with figuring my setup it seems wider than 315 requires exact measurements and no room for error. i have seen 335 on here but its a major tight fit
with your ductwork issues maybe a 40 et in 12" and 315 rubber in 18 would help

Can you give me some more specifics on why you would not choose 19s? Thanks!

i didn't like the stability of them at speed in canyon style driving, and i think the abs/psm might also be affected, though i'm less sure of that. plus they rubbed the wheel liner at hard turns. just not a fan of 19's on these cars. beyond looks.

Pretty close. Looks like the P44SC 10 spoke is organized in sets of 2 with larger spacing between them. The Forgestar CF10 appears equally spaced for all 10 spokes.

In what way - loose in the turns?

I do like the 2004 GT2 rims, but they are difficult to find and a good price. They are 18s.

But these are great too. Perhaps I could work with these in 18s.

not "loose", but rather a greater propensity for instability. that's the best way i can describe 19's on my car. not so, 18's. you have to remember the tire/wheel combos really affect the abs/psm sensitvity on these cars. bottom line is, porsche knows why they chose 18's for the 96t gt2's, even if i don't.
