GT3’s with 19x9.5 fronts wheels - any issues?
Anyone have experience running 19x9.5 front wheels with a 265 tyre on a 991.2 GT3?
It seems most people are using 9/12 combo with 265/325 tyres.
I’m putting an order for some 19’s and deciding between 9.5 or 9 inch fronts. I’m going to be running 265/35/19 Trofeos regardless of which width I go with so my logic is that if a 9 inch works with a 265 tyre, a 9.5 wheel will not be stretching the tyre that much that it becomes an issue?

I would ask why?
What are you hoping to accomplish when the 9" wheel fits it perfect why jump a .5" aside of just because you can. If there is a performance gain, then sure, but aside of that it wouldn't make much sense.
