Wheel Problems
Need some advice on some wheel fitment problems. I bought these wheels on ebay. They are 19 x 10 and 19 x 8.5. I put some some Sumitomo III 235 35 19 on the fronts. When we put the front wheels on, the curved spoke rubbed a bit on the front caliper. So I got some HR 7mm spacers to put on the front. After putting on the spacers, the tire rubs the front and back inside of the tire well. I had this work done at discount tire. Are there things a shop can do to the well to make this work?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't know if this will help, but give it a look.

I like this calculator
LINK
Put the OEM size on the left side and your new set up on the right, down the page there are suggestions of what to do - or options,... its really a very useful tool (you must put in the offsets too)
C2 or C4 - for C2 your tires are too wide IMO 235

What does a 996 GT3 come with?
The 997 GT3 comes equipped with 8.5 and 12 x 19 inch rims and 235/35 and 305/30 tires. It probably all comes down to offset. If you're actually touching a brake caliper than i would have elected to go for a 5mm spacer (not 7mm) to gain just enough clearance and no more.
