They're Cargraphic Racing 19's
Front 19x8.5
Rear 19x12
Will the 12's stretch the rubber too much?

Thanks, all!!!

i remember reading somnewhere that 19's were not really good on a 996 and that issue was one of the problems resolved by the 997.

Those are pretty amazing.

Very hot Richard! But why would you want to go to 19's???

LVDell

Is the rubber:
245/30/19
305/25/19

This is what Cargraphic has posted as the rec'd for that setup. All I can say is that is a lot of steel and rubber to push around

I think they'll look great. Your suspension will likely be less than happy.

RLandis

actually, the rubber is:
245-35-19 FRONT
315-25-19 REAR

LVDell

WOW! That's a lot of rubber. Epecially for a NA 996.

I think they will look great on your 4S.

If they fit, I think they'd look nice. I don't think 12" is too wide for a 315. For the PS2, Michelin's recommended rim width range is 11" to 12". My 285s on a 10" were a tight fit and look it, too. 10.5" would have been better, so I think looks-wise, it will be fine as long as offsets/clearance is OK.

I like the wheels and think they would look good, but not really digging the fake center lock caps.

agreed and your car will ride less than optimally (according to Porsche standpoint on 19's)

karlooz

they looks sweet. like many others have said the ride will be less than optimal but then you gotta ask yourself the question, are you going for looks or performance. i've got 19's and 18's and there is an increase in bumpsteer but really, it's not even as bad as some may suggest.

Trust me, you want the 19s. I've got 19s on my C4S with the Porsche X73 lowered suspension. It's incredible how dramatic the combination is. The number one comment I get on my car is the wheels...

Go 19...

Well, because your wheels (HREs 542Rs) are amazing! Love the 542s, they look incredible on a C4S
