I know 19 may offer more options regarding track tires but Nankang AR1 comes in 305 in rear for 20 inch and they cost less. Can purchase at Phil’s tire service.
option to consider.
also call BGB, I think they may be able to help with19” wheels for cars with RWS
Grantsfo ran 19's on his T with RAS and PCCB. Some posts on it, with pics. Was tight, but apparently it worked. He may weigh-in or you can search him out for deets.

19" would be great, but I am ok with 20" as well. I won't be tracking this car that much that the difference in tire cost will be a huge factor. But even in 20", I am having a hard time finding wheels with a high enough offset. That's why I was wondering what others are using.
These are the most cost effective that I have seen in a decent brand with good fitment. My gripe is that they are not much lighter (if any) than stock.

Klepper, I custom ordered my set. May be your best option but cost more. If you do, I recommend staying with OEM offset on rear, and in front, you can easily push out 7-10mm for better fit. Good luck.
note, be very cautious with offset, some will tell you you can use .1 offset but you can’t. Porsche changed the offset from .1 to .2. Stout did a write up on this.

Thanks for the advice. Ya, I read Stout’s post on the offsets. It was really good. That’s what prompted me to ask what others are using. I want to use something already tested and known to work. There are actually a few 991.2 OEM take off sets in the classifieds here. I may go that route since it will work for sure.
After about 3.5 weeks of ownership, it finally had to go out to the track so I could get somewhat familiar with it's handling. Clearly, I was concerned with the car's vanity protection...
BTW, it was at Streets of Willow. I'm still an officer with the Lotus Club of So Cal. We usually do one or two track events a year, but we rent the track ourselves and cap it at 3 groups of 15. This ensures everyone has plenty of space and frankly, it's pretty much an all you can eat track day. After 2:30PM, there's an average of 5 cars an on the track at any one time.

what’s up with blue tape? It’s not a 1,5 million Singer......
