Pirelli Pzero (Porsche OEM part numbers) 235/35R19 and 295/30R19, the Pzero is the factory Porsche tire and I think it has a much wider contact patch than the PSS.
The wheels look GREAT!!!, but the Pzero suck, switch to Michelin and thank me later. Problem with them is that they aren't as good as the PSS when they are new and even when they still have 50-60% tread life left, the traction they do have drop off dramatically, never been more disappointed in a high end tire before.
The wheels look incredible. Great choice. The stance looks perfect.
Thank you!

Thanks! I don't mind the Pzero's, I would have got PS4's but the rears were brand new when I picked up the car in the fall. I just got new front tires to match.
It was finally warm enough to give the 911 a bath, warm enough for a car nut atleast: 7°c (44°f). The snow is slowing melting in my area and I am hoping to be driving soon, but I snapped some better photos in the meantime. Hopefully these give you fellow Porschephiles a better idea of how the new wheels and offsets look on the car:
Very nice looking setup, wheels, the whole package. How much concavity are you able to get? I am trying to find wheels that are concaved a lot.
Thank you! The wheels could have been more concave, I asked for deep center pockets though (there is about 3/4" clearance between the front caliper and spokes).
Look at the rear tire differences . . . its crazy. I added a picture for comparison. My rear wheels are also 12x19, and I mounted 315/30-19 Mich Pilot Sport Cup 2 . . . your Pirelli 295/30 actually look wider on your wheels.
I really like your BC wheels - great choice!

Tirerack has a good comparison tool for this:
Your 315/30/19 Pilot Sport Cup 2 show a Section width of 12.6" and a tread width of 11.5" - a 'rounded' ratio
The 295/30/19 PZero show a of Section width of 11.9" and a tread width of 11.7" - a very 'square' ratio
While there seems to be a lot of love for Michelin Pilot 4S, they also have a 'rounded' profile, hence why I am shopping for Pilot Sport PS2 in 305, which has a Section width of 12.3" and a Tread width of 12.2", almost the same as the same sized PZero - 12.3"and 12".
Makes a big difference in how these tires look and fill wheel wells. I struggled for a while looking a Eibach lowering results - some cars look barely lowered, others look perfect, the difference is the tires.
