245/35/19's on a 8.5X19?

I have a set of sportec mono's in 8.5x19 for the fronts and 11x19 for the rears with no tires.

I also just got a set of mint AVUS AF-502 in 9X19 and 12X19 with PS2 in 245/35-19 and 315/25-19. These came with the car . but I dont like them. so what Id like to do is switch over the tires from the AVUS to the Sportecs.

Im sure the rear will work but I think I have to run a 235/35-19 for the fronts. Any thoughts????

Oh yeah once I install the sportecs, I will be selling the AVUS wheels for a blowout price!

I run 245 Hoosier (S6) on the front of my 996TT with stock wheels.
Hoosier rep was at the track and said lots of guys do it.

A 245 has an 8-9.5" rim range. Will fit the wheel fine. How it fits in the well is based on offset.

Damon is correct-- I do think the Sportecs do have the correct offset so it shouldn't be an issue
