tire size inquiry 996tt

Currently running 225 45's & 285 35,s on stock 18" wheels. Car is slightly lowered on PSS10's with no issues. Looking at 235 35's & 295 30's on after market 19" wheels. Any input as to weather I will be looking at any contact / rubbing issues? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Well, have had one response regarding "road feedback" with 19" wheels ( thanks Kurt ) Anyone running 19" wheels on a 996 turbo? Would appreciate any input.

I run Michelin Pilot Super Sports,245/35/19305/30/19
I haven't had any issues and the car is now lowered 1" with KWv3's and still no issues. Actually need to see if I can sneak in 325/30/19 in the back since I need new tires.

I'm running 315/25/19 on 19" HRE rims. The car has been lowered and from what I recall I'm using 7mm spacers in the back.
You will be limited in tire offerings since from what I recall Michelin stopped producing this size. To the best of my knowledge only Toyo offers the 19".
Good tire though and stunning visual effect, I've been using them a while. 300$ for a rear tire at tire rack.

I've been running, at stock height, 245/30/19 and 305/30/19 without any issues. I did have 325/30/19 and they rubbed the fender lining slightly. I just had to pull the bottom of the fender liner back a bit with a cable tie and all was good. loved that look from the rear. Baby's got back.

I know this is an old post but curious about the tire size the OP is currently running I'm running the same sizes and was told to swap them because they aren't compatible with the 4WD system is this correct or are they ok?

Conferred with a local tire shop prior to installation. Concern is with the diameter of the front and rear tires being close to the same. There is a maximum percentage difference allowable, these fall within those parameters.

Take these sizes to a tire store, they should have a chart which will give you circumference of each. They should also have info for installing on an all wheel drive vehicle.
