Rear tires are 305/30/19.
The wheels that came with the car were et67, which apparently should have come with a factory 17mm spacer installed to bring the offset to et50.
I just got the car recently, and found there was no spacer installed. So, instead of going with a 17mm, I got 30mm H&Rs, to bring the wheels out just a little bit more. Final offset is et37

Later in production (maybe for 997.2 cars?) they started to offer the rear 19x11.5 in et50 for the widebody cars (no spacer needed).
Adding a 30mm spacer to the et67 wheels, is equivalent to adding a 13mm spacer to the et50 wheels. You get the same final offset.
15mm spacers in the rear is a common addition for the widebody cars to bring the wheels flush. So, 13mm is no problem.

I don't think I've posted in this thread since I got my GT3... Here are a few things I did yesterday:
These scoops were not easy to install without really thin needle nose pliers... But boy do they look good!

Pics don't do them justice. And more exterior CF is in the mail...
Now interior. I got rid of all the alcantara that I touch with my hands - steering wheel, shifter, E-brake. All had to go. Went leather with red stitching to match the rest of the interior. Very happy with the results. Car's not the cleanest but you get the idea...

Leather feels sooo much better! Especially the steering wheel, love it. No more of that plastic crap that's on the OEM steering wheel. I couldn't stand it.
