Tire size for 19's

Tire size for 19's
Recently I had a set of wheels made through VT Forged 19x8.5/11
I've read a bunch of post about this, sooo "sorry in advance lol" I'm currently between two tire size sets.
Front 225/40/19 Rear 295/30/19
and
Front 245/35/19 Rear 305/30/19
The car currently has Techart Coilovers and adjustable toe arms. I'm just trying to see what everyone here would go with?

I like the wheels, they should look great on the car.
I run a 245/305 combo on my car for a few reasons
- More tire is better
- The taller tires are a better match for the gear ratios (in my opinion)
- Tire availability
- It looks better aesthetically because the fender wells on a 996 are large

For those wheels I'd go with
245/35/19 Fronts (25.8 diameter)
295/30/19 Rear (26 diameter)
That's the closest you can really get and still have some good sidewall. The fronts may rub a bit at full lock in the parking lot but this hasn't been an issue for me.

That has been a good combo even with a front diff in place it seems to be working fine and puts a ton of rubber on the road. The 245 front really cures the understeer. If you have a 12 inch rim you can't use the 295 rear and must go to the 305.

A spacer will not correct for a diameter issue. A spacer is used to push the wheel/tire out to correct for a wheel that has an offset that is too small. Do you know the offset of front wheels? Rear wheels? If they were made for the 996 widebody, then I am sure they are good, so no spacer needed.

That may be an issue with your offset. My 315/25/19 setup fits fine in the outer fender but is a bit close against the inner liner, I had to melt it and push it in a bit.

They sure look good though.
