02 996 C2 Wheel and Tire fitment question

I have a 2002 911 Carrera cab C2, I am considering 19 x 8 fronts with 235 35 19 and 19 x 11 with 295 30 19 anyone else running this set-up or know if I will have rubbing issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you running it on a stock suspension?

Dso- can you post or PM me a pic of your car with the 19" setup? I am thinking of buying 19" wheels for my C2 cab and am curious in seeing a nb with a 19" wheel setup. Thanks

Ok thanks. I have read that since my stock wheels are 17", I will be putting a lot of stress on the stock suspension if I upgrade to a 19" wheel. I have also been told that the car would handle better with an 18" wheel as opposed to a 19" wheel. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Just an FYI, I installed mine last week and absolutely love it. 235 35 19 fronts and 295 30 19 rear. No issues at all. looks much better. The rear rims are 19 x 11, appears to have plenty of room.

Sounds great...you should post some pics. What wheel did you go with? Have you heard anything about 19" putting stress on our stock suspension?

I had the same set-up on my last 996 with no issues, the guy who bought it from me 2 years ago is in Atlanta and tracks it a little and has not said anything about an issues.

I went with a Turbo 2 Replica wheel

Where did you purchase your wheels? Are the replicas made in China or Italy?
