Help, I really want these rims, but they only come 11" wide, and I really want 12".

How much has that mattered to those of you making a call like this?

Can I run a 325 tire w 11"? If I could run the 325's w the 11", that would solve my problem I think....

Decisions.

So can you run a 245/35-20 and 305/30-20 on a 997 TT with lower springs?

Not an expert but 35's in the front are probably too much I run 235/30/20 and 305/25/20's in the rear on lowered

I was noticing the differences in diameter thus circumference, I remember the
996 TT having issues with a certain size difference. The 19 in stock size
is over 1/2 in in diameter difference. The 08 I just bought has 20 in Advans
but it is in the shop so can't check the size. Be nice to change to the 991 TT
tire.

No, there'd be too much difference in the diameter. You'd mess up your speedo and odometer.

Should be able to program that out, just wondering about fit issues as far as
rubbing.
