Default GT3 RS gen2 tires on a gen1 RS ?

Hey guys this may come across as a dumb question but could I fit 245/35ZR19 and 325/30ZR19 tires on my bone stock 07 GT3 RS without any issues ? These were the factory tire dimensions on the 2010-11 RS model. I went over the car last need and didn't see anything that would concern me such as rubbing etc. Looks to be plenty of clearance for the larger tires. I went to order the Michelin super sports and the stock rear size is on back order so this sparked my idea of going larger. Curious to hear if anyone has gone bigger.

I've got 245 on the fronts (mine is a .2 GT3, non RS) and fits fine. I don't think you should have problem in the rear. The width of the fenders are the same between 1. RS and .2 RS, the offsets I do not know.

I've used 245/305 and 245/335 on my rs. Both work fine make sure the height and rake are correct. Some rears like the 315 nitto do not work on the 997 cars well. Messes with abs
