I'm trying to find the exact width of the front/rear wheels with the optional 19" Carrara Classic Wheels.

The Owner's Manual that I found online shows the following:

STOCK: F=> 8J X 18 R=> 9J X 18

19": F=> 8J X 19H2 R=> 9.5J X 19H2
(235/35 ZR 19 87Y, 265/35 ZR 19 94Y)

- When I convert 235mm into inches it gives me: 9.25 inches (front).
- When I convert 265mm into inches it gives me: 10.43 inches (rear).

I also found somewhere else online (can't remember where) that stated that the Carrara Classics tires would have a width of 295mm which equals: 11.61 inches.

What is the correct answer for my 19" Carrara Classics that I ordered (Both Wheel and Tires)? What will the wheel and tire widths be on my new Cayman S with 19" Carrara Classics?

Thanks in advance,

Shane

Shane,

The Carrera Classics in my garage are stamped on the front rim 57 offset 8 width and rear 46 offset 9.5 width. A rough measurement of the tire width at its widest is 9.0 front and 10.5 rear. The width of the contact patch of the Pilot Sports 2's is approximately the wheel width measured at the bead seat or 8.0 front and 9.5 rear.

I hope this helps.
