When I get my 19's is the correct tire size...
 
235/35/19 and 315/25/19 for the PS2's? Is there any rubbing issues? My car is dropped on Ruf PSS9's. I do not know what setting it is on but it is not overly stiff and I have like a 1-1 1/2 finger gap between tires and fender.
I have decided on the Iforged Aero's. I personally like the clean 5 star with rivets, a black center and polished lip...........:cool:

Size sounds good! Give me a call to order.

I was asking if there are any rubbing issues. I am not sure what the offset is, I will find out. They custom make the rims so I am sure they can make the rear 11"

If they are "custom".....then they can be any offset you want.
Offset determines where wheel & tire sit (in-out) relative to wheel arch or fender line so it's the main (of 3 things) that affects clearence('rubbing issues')....the other 2 things being ride height, and finally wheel/tire size.

People who are real picky about looks (and where that outside edge of the wheel & tire sit relative to the car body) are 1st deciding on offset......(that's after they decide what tire they want the rim to eventually hold) :D .

Getting all this bass-ackwards can, sometimes, produce less than optimum results. :)

I agree and I don't want to spend the money if it is not going to be perfect. I would like to have the wheel and tire be flush with the body but I would rather have no rubbing if I had to make a choice.
I bought my car with the suspension already on there and I have not measured the ride height. Iforged has done rims for quite a few dropped 996TT's, I would imagine they will know what to do. I estimated the drop to be 1-1.5" whe I placed the order.
Do you have a rough idea of what parameters will cause rubbing or do I have enough clearance to run this size rim and tire without to much issue? There are quite a few people on here that run this size tire and they are dropped/modded so I would imagine there is some room to pplay with. Thank you for the info, I appreciate it........:cool:

How do you find out the factory offset for the wheels or the optimum offset for 19" rims?

The aeros are my favorite too. Let's see some pics.

Yes, they are great. I had a set of 19's on my S4. I have not found another set that I like more...............
