Wheels & Tire help

Hello,

I'm interested in a set of wheels for my 997.1 turbo the wheel and tire size is as follows.

Front: 9.5x19 265/30/19
Rear: 12.5x19 345/30/19

From what I have been reading it seems this set would not work for a turbo without a widebody kit on it. Anyone running these on a turbo car?

Thank You.

michelins are you only option.
you can not run that tire size because it'll probably damage your AWD. the rears are too tall relative to the fronts.
you can run a 345 rear tire no problem. a 265 front will require a nearly perfect combination of offset, ride height and alignment. OR you can get OEM gt2/gt3 wider front fenders and make something work along the lines of a 265/35 OR you can run 20s
