I am going with 235/305 setup.

Thanks, 295s right now.

Did you end up ordering these? If so, I'd love to see pics once you get them installed as I am thinking about a set for my car.

Not yet...certain things have to happen financially. I am very much interested though. They are in the top running. The only thing that would stop me other than financially is the fact you can't use an OEM cap.

That is 1mm difference which would not change the fitment of the wheels. If it was 10mm then there is a need for concern.

Anyone else put these on a narrow body 997 yet? I really like them, but this thread has me worried about whether or not they will fit properly.

They look great. But those center caps, not so sure about those. I'd prefer a Porsche cap.

I don't blame you. I am sure there is an acceptable workaround, if you're industrious and/ or creative.

What I want to know is:
Can I use the tires I currently have, which are all new:
Michelin PS2
F: 235/35/19
R: 305/30/19

Anyone know the answer?

I'm running PS2 235s in the front and 295s in the rear, and was told 305s would work.

Those sizes would pose no issues for these wheels.
