car looks great man, what are your tire sizes? rears look really meaty
speaking of, can we run 19x8.5f/19x12r without it damaging the front diff? 235/35-19f & 325/30-19r tires btw
Yes you can run those wheels sizes, many people are. However you have the wrong front tire size, a 235 with 325 rear could indeed damage the front diff. You need a 245 or 255 paired with the 325 rear. 255 might be a tight squeeze up front though, hence most people run 245.
Stock tires 235/35/19 305/30/19 have a 2.7% difference in diameter back to front. If you only install 325/30/19 rear you get a 4.7% difference. Upping the front to 245 reduces the difference to 3.5% and the 255 front maintains identical ratio to OEM at 2.7%.
I'm running BBS 8.5/12" with 245/35/19 and 325/30/19 MPSS. Great fitment and no issues.
Side topic, anyone know where to get some cool 997 Turbo wall art? I'm looking for something similar to the below, but has more specs and details. Want to put up some cool stuff in the garage.

awesome man, thanks so much! exactly what i needed to know
I couldn't wait to get tires to get an idea of what they'll do to the look of my car -- Champion Motorsports RF67 20" wheels. There aren't my favorite wheels, but I found them on CL for only $600. Talked the guy down to $450 Hard to pass up a deal like that
I'm pretty damn happy.
Now, what tires to choose? It seems Michelin PS are not an option. They don't make tires in the size I need -- 235/30/20, 305/25/20. If I go 245, 325 I have more options, but I plan to use spacers and those will probably rub I'm guessing.
Here's a couple of the rearend! Still not sure if I want to change from the "classic" look yet.
Definetly love the look of this wing. Shoot me over a PM or email whenever you'd like like chat about some wheel options. We can do some pretty cool stuff and have it match the aggression that your wing gives.
