18s all the way, in GT2 spec, as it should be...

Any size tires, if they are not closely matched, can mess with the AWD. The key is not whether they are 18 or 19's, but if the rolling diameters are within 2% (Porsche spec.) I have NO problem with mine for years.

When I bought this girl 3 years ago, she came with the 19" Victor Equipment Kronen rims shown in the picture, plus the original set of Porsche rims from the PO.
Bought it with 26000 km's, has just over 40000 km's now and no issues with the AWD system.
Firm ride, but kinda like that raw feel, considering she's an X50 and IMHO, the rims look great on the car!

Depends on where you live, 19s on a 997 work well because the tire is taller, 19s on a 996 need a lower profile tire. This low profile will definitely cause problems in areas with slightly bad roads and road construction. If you live in areas that don’t receive harsh freezes you may be good, but if you do make sure your wheel repair shop is close by.
