I just purchased a set of Techart 8.5 X19 and 11X 19 Formula Wheels for my 03 NB 996. Will 235 35zr 19 front and 305 30zr 19 tire fit without rubbing? Any suggestions on brand on tires? PS2 don't come in 235 for the front.

For the front, 235-35-19 is fine.
For the rear, 305-30-19 might be a little tight. I went with 295-30 and others have recommended 305-25. It also depends if your car is lowered or not.

Good luck and post pics when you have them mounted.

 

235/35 is fine. 305/30 is almost a full inch taller than stock. 315/25 is a better fit, but neither will probably not fit a NB without at least a fender lip roll.

 

I have 305/25R19's on the rear, lowered, never a scuff.

 

I have a set of the Formula for my widebody, and it honestly sounds like those are for a widebody. Do you know the offsets on your wheels? I can check mine to compare...or sell them to you hahaha I gotta get rid of some of these wheels.

 

305/25 19 is OK, 30 series is too tall. It's almost a full inch taller

 

I have a set of the Techart Formula's on my '02 4S. I run 315/25/19" on the rear, but the guy who sold me the rims sold the improper offset for the rears. I should have bought the 25mm ET, but in fact I am running the 52mm ET ... they sit in a little bit (1/2"). but on the inner wheel shield there is about 1/2" of clearance. Stock ride height and no rubbing. The fronts should be fine. I have mine for sale if you're interested.... Sport Contact II tires (Continental) $3500 CDN plus postage or pick up in Ontario.

 

52mm is correct for the narrowbody. I would run a 295/30/19 really.

 

11" rear et should be ~63 on a NB (63 is the GT3 spec)...

I run 60 et with 305/25...with GT3 camber setup...this is about as close as you want to cut it without rolling fenders etc...

I suspect the TechArt's are widebody wheels and will not fit a NB (will stick out to far)...
