It's always hard to visualize certain wheels and sizing on different set ups, so I always enjoy scrolling through this thread for great examples. Here are my current choices depending on the mood and activity.

18" Volk TE37s
19" BBS LM-Rs
18" OZ Alleggerita HLTs
​​​​​​(black and silver sets for track use)

18s drive so much better in my opinion I’d definitely go with a 18” setup

On the volk setup, what is the offset/are you running spacers? I've done some searching on your other posts looking for the info, sorry if i'm missing it I just really like the fitment. Have been back and forth for months on whether to get 19s or 18s inch fuchs for my my C2S cabrio, and I'm leaning towards 18 for a bit meatier of a look.

No spacer needed for this set-up. Perfect fit.

I wanted 18s no matter how many people like the 19s more on this chassis. Plus, I like fatter sidewalls and this set up is similar to my track sets. The Volks are discontinued 996 GT3 fitment, 18x8.5 et49 and 18x11 et60 with 15mm spacers front and rear (basically et34/et45). Spacers are a must for me on almost all of my set ups. Offsets are pretty weak on most of the available Porsche wheel sets, plus with the amount of camber I run for the track (-3.3F, -2.6R) I have to push them back out.
This gives a better idea of the fitment. Stance is important to me, but so is corner balancing and not ripping my fenders off around Sebring/through construction. I have some extra rake front to rear, with fenders and rear bumper "massaged" a bit for clearing the 305/35 rears and my full slicks when mounted.
