Sure. I like the fuchs style wheels so I am pretty happy with these. Offsets very aggressive right out to the fender but not beyond. Rear are 12x19 offset around 40.

Looks like you have the 991 20" rims. Are you using the 991 tire size on those rims or a tire size more inline with the 997? It looks like the 991 tires were removed and replaced with a lower profile tire?.?....

Tire Sizes:
Front - 245 / 30 / 20
Rear - 305 / 25 / 20

I never really thought about the tire size before. This set came with the car. Did a little research and what is recommended is:

Front - 245 / 35 / 20
Rear - either 295 / 30 or 305 / 30

Strange that the sizes I have are different. I don't have the wheel size or offsets. I'm assuming they would be NB 991 sizes. I'm currently looking for 19" wheels to replace these. Sorry couldn't be more help.

The tire size you have would be correct for a 997 with 20" wheels. the "recommended" size you refer to would be for the 991 car which takes slightly taller tires...You will be glad you went to a 19", I had 20s as well but that wasnt a good move...

Thank you! Probably the last one you'll see too. Took a TON of time to get it right. Wouldn't do it again.
