jfazlagic is infamous around these parts

245/40/19 in front on a 997.1, will they fit?

So if I have 305/30/19 in the back, will 245/40/19 be a good fit in the front?
Or should I stick with the 235/35/19?

2005 Carrera S is the car in question. This is for a set of track-only R-comps.

Thanks!

I am running 245/35/19 and 325/30/19. I love the big fat tire on the back

Thanks Joel, but I see your fronts at "35" (wall height) whereas the ones I'm considering are 40. OEM standard is 35, so that's why I'm wondering if it'd work.

You are going to have an issue with the front rear size delta. A 235.35.19 is 25.5" in diameter. A 245.40.19 is 26.4" in diameter. I am using the specs for the MPSS from the Tire Rack site
