There should be no issue here as we have numerous customers running the 265/35-19 front tire with no issues and the 265/35-19 is about half an inch shorter in height than the 245/35-20 aiding fender liner clearance. When paired with the 325/30-19 rear tire it maintains the OEM ratio of the rear being 1.5% taller than the front. The VS-5RS 19x9.5"ET45 is currently sold out pending a potential offset adjustment but the new ML-10RT in 19x9.5"ET48 and 19x11.5"ET72 is now available for pre-order for 991's without front axle lift (FAL cars should use the 19x9"ET50 front wheel).

Hi Brandon, Thanks for the info! I have a 4S, so widebody, please confirm that I should go with the 19x9.5ET48 and the 19x12"ET46 for the ML-10RT!
@apexwheels - any plans to include a bright silver finish on this wheel (similar to what Stout refinished his as)?
There are no plans currently in place to produce the VS-5RS in our Race Silver finish. For now, this would need to be refinished by the end customer like Stout had done.

If you have a 991.1 C4S without front axle lift then 19x9.5"ET48 and 19x12"ET46 is perfect, pair it with 265/35-19 and 325/30-19 tire sizes. A 991.2 C4S should run the 19x12"ET63 with the same rear tire. A front axle lift equipped 991 Carrera, be it a .1 or .2 will need the 19x9"ET50 front wheel to ensure inner clearance.

Good thing I'm asking you before ordering. It's a 991.2 4S with RAS but no FAL. For the rear, OEM sizing for a 991.2 is 20x11.5ET56 (991.1 is 20x11"ET52). According to Will They Fit, the outer edge if going with +63 won't be flush, in fact, more sunken than OEM?
Do you think the +46 is too aggressive?
Now I am confused, unless the physical width of the fender is wider on a .1, a +46 wheel actually sticks out more on a 991.1
@Apex Wheels Scrolling up on this thread, I see there's a 991.2 4S on post 75 The poster is running 20x12ET47, which is the recommended size for the V5RS on your website.
Why is your ML10-RT recommended size different? Once I get this all cleared up, I'll place my order! Thanks!
The 12"ET63 is the OEM width and offset for a .2 GTS, we just put a 20mm wider tire on it when in a 19" diameter which helps the look a good bit. The fitment all comes down to the amount of camber on the back of the car. 20x12"ET47 with a 305/30-20 looks perfect on a .2 widebody at -2° of rear camber (seen here) whereas a 19x12"ET46 on a .2 C4S with a 325/30-19 (seen here) starts getting close to poking a bit. With the right camber values out back then 19x12"ET46 is a much more flush option but the 12"ET63 gives you freedom in your alignment values for what you want on the street or track, not what you need to make the fitment work. Heres how I would proceed if I was shopping for a .2 C4S.
Stock alignment to -1.8° of camber and street or track tires- 19x12"ET63, maybe a 5mm or 7mm spacer
-2° of rear camber and a street tire (fitment will be very flush or slightly poke) - 19x12"ET46
Aftermarket LCA's for more than -2.2° of rear camber and track tires - 19x12"ET46

Good to know, thanks! I'm at -2.3 in the back, might go for more, so I'll go with 19x9.5"ET48 and 19x12"ET46, which is actually what your configurator seems to recommend as well (no option available for +63):

Pre-order coming shortly!
It looks like that one got missed when adding the new wheel to all the configurators. I appreciate you pointing that out.
