Will these wheels fit?
Please help - will the below whee; / tire set up work on a '99 C4, convertible? Getting a smoking deal on the wheels and tires, but want to make sure they fit.
19x8.5 ET 54 235/40/19 front (I have 7.5MM Spacers on the front)
19x11 ET 62 285/35/19 rears (I have 15MM spacers on the rear)
Thanks in advance!

The 235/40R19s are 26.4 inches tall. There is no way they will fit.
Likewise, the rears are 26.9 inches tall. There is little chance of them fitting.
Hey, I just found a 19" size that would work for 996 C4/C4S/Turbo and keep the AWD system happy.
245/35R19 front
285/30R19 rear
They would be needlessly heavy, bumpy and probably oversteer but they would likely fit in the arches and the front is slightly larger than the rear.

Starting from stock turbo:
My original set up
porsche sport techno wheels:
18x8 et 50 225/40/18
18x11 et 45 295/30/18
I have run Champion:
19x8.5 et 40 235/30/19
19x11.5 et 30 295/30/19
loved the look but didnt feel the same when tossing the car around. Always felt like I changed something in the way the car handled.
presently running techart speedlines
18x8.5 et 40
18x11 et 25
Has been a great compromise.
Car looks tight. Front sit flush to fender.
Rears are aggressive and come to lip
looks amazing handling is pretty good.
Still not quite the same as the original set up imho.
perhaps from slightly heavier.
