996 gt2 wheels on 996tt - tire sizes?

Hey guys, 996 gt2 wheels fit on a 996tt -> What size tires? 18x8.5 and 18x12. 235/40 and 315/30 rubber?
Any rubbing/clearance?
Any tire size issue with the Awd?

Thanks!

depends on the brand of tire. You have to check the tire spec sheet
to ensure that the front and rear tire have very close to the same
actual diameter...

I am thinking of using the ps2, so based on their website, the overall diameter is 25.5 and 25.4. close enough i assume?

I just put PS2s on my 996tt and I noticed the rear appear to be wider than the stock Pirelli Pzeros

GT2 wheels and tires will work fine on a 996tt. The only issue you will have is rubbing on the fenders if your car is lowered. The GT2 has rolled fenders from the factory.
