Hi Guys,

This is my first time to chose new wheels+tyres.The more I google it to find the right ones making me more confused.

Now I am here to get some help If you don't mind me asking...

1- I have 911,997, CS2,3.8L having OEM turbo's alloys believing the current fitment is OEM: Front Wheels: 8Jx19 ET57
Rear Wheels: 11Jx19 ET67

Now the new rims I like they are MAK FRONT: 8.50x19 5x130 ET48
MAK REAR: 11.x19 5x130 ET65
Wondering if I do go for this new rim's set up what Impact it will have on my car?

Or what other choices I have can I go for 20 inches set up instead, any better? Or stick to 19?


2nd Question is that which one is better out of these two ...


Michelin Pilot Sports 4S: Front:235/35 R19 91 Y XL, ZR

Or

Michelin Pilot Super Sports: Front:235/35 R19 91 Y XL, ZR ????

Rear Michelin Pilot Sports 4S or Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 305/30R19 102 Y XL,ZR


Thanks

it depends on what you want. you'll still end up with the same wheel gap by going up to 20" but the car will sit a little higher. just swapping on 20" wheels alone isn't going to help the look of the car on its own. whether you prefer the look of 19 inch wheels or 20 inch wheels is a separate issue.

I'm not looking to raise the center of gravity of the car either way so a 20" wheel would be out for me, combined with the fact that wheel weight is important. a larger wheel won't necessarily raise the weight if, for instance, you have a heavy cast 19 and a light forged 20. but a lightweight forged 20 is likely to be heavier than a similar design lightweight forged 19. where the weight is on the wheel matters too.

lots of factors going on! as far as being able to say which is "better"
