Yes they're 12J.

I've run 305s on my before they're fine. Just look stretched like the pic above. No problems whatsoever really, but if you track it do adjust your handling expectations.

Thanks! did you notice a big difference in handling?

Porsche uses a 19x12" rear wheel on both the non-RS and RS using both a 305 and 325 respectively. You will be fine...

You'll be surprised--the tail does get livelier under braking. Not as noticeable a change when it came to traction out of corners, at least for me.
