Seems to me on our cars upsizing the fronts and leaving the rears stock makes sense. For example, what about upsizing fronts and adding spacers while keeping rears stock sans spacers? Forget about looks, just talking about handling. Seems the way to go.

On a 991? What are the widths of the wheels? Do you get any fender rub? How about turn radius?

very interested...

Yes on my 991S. BBS 19x12 ET61 and 19x9.5 ET43.5.... no rubbing with 265/35/19 and 325/30/19 Michelin Cup 2s. I would love to find a way to get 275/345 to fit since the rolling diameter with those widths and 35/30 aspect ratios would be identical to OE.

I need to take some better pics and do a write up on my modifications but you get the idea.
