I might buy rims for my 991 Carrera S. I was told the max width is 11 (the car is not lowered).
Does anyone know what the max width would be with causing any mechanical or visual issues?

I'm pretty sure the Sport Techno wheel is 11" in the rear.

Chuck I sincerely admire your wisdom and advice regarding racing and Porsches overall, but putting aftermarket wheels on a Porsche is not a new or outlandish concept. I simply was asking the good people of Rennlist if putting a 11.5 or 12 inch rear wheel would cause any issues in regards to rubbing or anything else...Or if it would stick out and look stupid.

Odds are you're going for looks. But here's the thing about appearances. There's the reaction of the average guy who knows nothing and assumes lower/wider=faster/better. So you stuff as much as you can in there that guy is impressed. Then there's the guy who knows Porsches. I'm talking about the DI who the first time he saw my car after corner-balancing said Hey you got your car set up- looks great! Now I know for a fact the measurements changed at most a few mm but this guy spotted it immediately and knew.
Which one are you going for?
