no spacers necessary? is there a maximum tire width that will fit without rubbing?

They are heavy rims like the original RUF's and quality is good and would be hard pressed to break/crack one and also produced in Italy I believe, however I think the original RUF's have more of a gun metal effect finish to them. I run Verdnstein? rubber and they provide a very comfortable ride. They provide a good grippe/quit ride but never tested on track. To me well worth the money.

I had the same problem

I tried to run 275's on stock 19x11 for the winter, it looked the same as yours, I then put 315's on the back and looks much better. I have a NB 996 so 19x11 with a 315 looks great.

275's would be to small for this rim, I think 295 would be minimum but the 315's would look even better I imagine any pics and tire brand, 315 narrows the possibility of makes?
