295 rear 245 front = bad idea?

tired of waiting for the 305s i bought 295/30/19, existing front is 245/35/19.

Will this setup work or bad idea? Wheels are 11.5" r 8.5" front

Thank you.

Ejcarrera is infamous around these parts

Mine came with those sizes from the factory on 11.5 and 8.5 rims. I have had no issues with 12k miles on them. I think you're good to go.

One thing though I have not tracked the car as of yet.

Thank for the reply...found a brand new pair of 305/30/19 MPSS at local Porsche dealer. I think the 295s is tad too small for the 11.5" wheels.

Depends on the offset and the look your going for. They will have a little more stretch to them in the rear. IMO, fine if you have a more aggressive offset.
