Tire Size and recommendation need for 20" rims...

I have a set of Iforged wheels in my garage with the current specs:

IForged Daytona
Matt Black
Polished Lip
20 x 8.5 (2.5" Front Lip)
20 x 11 (4" Rear Lip)
Porsche 997 C2 Fitment

I am wondering what size tires do I need?

Would 235/30/20 & 305/25/20 fit for the front and rear?

I am tryin to put these rims on a 2006 997 Carrera S cab and on the tirerack website, my only tire options is the Pirelli PZero Nero and Continental ContiSport Contact 3.

Which of these tires would last longer and be the better buy?

TIA
Frank

RWDRIFTC2 is infamous around these parts
235/30/20 and 305/25/20 will work nicely. I would go with the pirelli.

Agreed. Conti's are OK, but the Pirelli are much better. You could probably find Toyo's for less money - they are a very good tire also. For a 305/25 - not many other options. 295/25 are also a decent option.

Definately Pirelli. You could even go 315 in the rear.
