I’m running a 295/30/19. I don’t think I could use a 305, although I’ve never tried it. It looks like it would rub. I’ve been happy with the 235/295 setup.

With the 14 mm spacer in front and no spacer in the rear.

The lobsters look perfect on that car.

Even better than a good day in the shop. A day in your 911 with marginal traction!

Love the fit! Which tires/sizes and did the setup change your speed registering on the speedo and if so by how much. Thanks

Sorry, didn’t see the update with this info till I posted and the thread updated. I lowered my car by 20 mm is your car lowered as well?

I have H&R Springs with Bilstein B6s. Approximately a 30 mm drop.

Those look great. Not sure they would look as good on a different color car.
Nice to see someone tried that combo.

Currently running 235/35 19 front and 295/30 19 rear. I'm actually pretty happy with the setup overall, but I need new tires. My friend just happens to have a set of brand new tires he decided not to use, but they are 305/30 19. I am going to mount them to see how they work out. Will save me a lot of money vs buying a set of Michelin 4s or whatever. Regarding the speedo, yes, it is off. Its pretty slight though. I tested it with a speedo app years ago and confirmed it was def off at highway speeds, but nothing crazy. It doesn't bother me.

I know this is an old post, but is your car lowered? I'm considering a set of Forks, but I'm a little lower with H&R sport springs.

In those pictures the car was on B6s with H&R Sport Springs.

not knowing too much about spacers, what are the requirements? Longer studs? Does it induce faster wear and tear?

You would need longer lug bolts to account for the wider spacer. No issues with wheel spacers (within a reasonable length and of good build quality). To run sport techno wheels on 996 turbos, the factory installed the cars with 17MM spacers in the rear. Spacers are very common.

Spacers and wheels with lower-offsets can expedite the wear of wheel bearings.
