Rear tire sizes?

Is anyone running a 315/25-19 in the rear? Seems like it would be a choice for a 12" rear rim. A bit shorter than a 295/30 even, but not as short as a 235/35. Curious about the limit for ABS / diff issues on a 997TT.
Thanks!

Well, as they say, that is an oldie, but a goodie! I see you were a contributor back them as well. I've been here a while but not in the turbo section. You just saved me a lot of pain! Thanks for the help.
