Guys, I feel this topic has been discussed but I cannot find precise numbers. Looking to do 245/35-19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports up front on 19 X 9" wheels on a 996TT AWD. Can anyone suggest a proper offset? The suspension is bone stock right now and fenders as well. Forgestar has recommended +50, just doing my own research though. I'm sure there are others with this setup.

 

et+45

 

+1
get it ?

 

ET is 53, I'm running Michelin PSS in 245/35/19 with no issues. They also make a 19x8.5 ET 51.

 

I'm running the same PSS tire in a 19x8.5 forgestar with +46 offsets and they are flush on my setup. Lowered on PSS10s with no rubbing issues.

 

Thanks for the data guys. Seems like the info I received from Peter @ Forgestar and Damon @ TireRack was right in the ball park. For a nice visual representation, I have found this website (http://www.tire-size-calculator.info), FRONT & REAR.

 

What width rear wheel are you using? 19x11 w/305/30 or 19x12?

 

Not purchased yet, but 19x11 w/305/30-19. I was told a 12 wheel was too wide to stretch the 305s. However, per the simulation the 12" wide would fill the wheel wells more. They will be Michelin Pilot SuperSport.

 

in the back, ET is 45. The 305's look just fine on my wheels. I've had 315's on there. Both looked fine to me.

 

Interesting. You have photos? In your opinion, the 19x12's with 305/30-19 tires would clear the stock suspension, fender liner, and fenders? Are your fenders rolled?

 

you'll be fine with 305 michelins, thats what i run on my 12" wheels.

 

Are yours 305/30-19? Sidewall looks pretty thin?

 

Nothing is rolled, however i did have to tweak the inner fender liner after my first drive, very slight rubbing, nothing to get overly excited about. Didn't notice anything on my second drive. I can shoot a pic tonight of the tires mounted on the rim. I can assure you it does not look unusual. My previous (Nitto Invo) 315's fit about the same, but that was a 25 series tire. I prefer the extra sidewall on the 305/30's.

 

yup 305 30 19 michelin supersport. must be the angle of the picture.. michelins are plenty meaty.

 

Agree, def lots of meat there on a PSS. Running same 305-30-19 in rears. Another angle for your reference. The sidewall is square on a 19x11 here.
