Wheel advice please

Hi. I have a 09 targa w/PCCB. Im Currently running Porsche Turbos 19x8 57 o/s and 19 x11 51 o/s. Tires are 235/35 and 305/30. I'm thinking of getting BBS CH-Rhttp://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialP artNumber=CH108BPO&wheelMake=BBS&wheelModel=CH-R+Porsche&wheelFinish=Black+w%2FPolished+Stainless +Lip&showRear=yes&selectedRear=CH112BPO&autoMake=P orsche&autoModel=911+Targa+4&autoYear=2009&autoMod Clar=&filterFinish=All&filterSize=All&filterBrand= All&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight =All&sort=Brand.

The rep at TireRack said not only will my current rear tires not fit on the BBS, he can't find a tire that would work on the 19x12 rears. The this sound correct? Thanks

I'm not sure why you want to go to 12" as the 11" are pretty wide for a street car. Try this website to play around with wheel widths and offsets to figure out what might fit.

Not so. I have a set of brand new 19" X 11" CHRs in transit to my garage and got them from TireRack.

You could probably use 305 on a 19 X 12, but the tire may be a little stretched..no biggie. You can also go with 325s

Very strange. When I play around on the Tirerack site i get varying results. For instance When I select a 09 turbo with ceramic brakes i get 12's on the rear. non ceramic breaks 11's. On my Targa I have ceramic brakes and running 11's on the rear. BTW when selecting a 09 c2 the site recommends 11's.
