track tire
I have a 2005 911 997 c2 and have currently on it c2s 19 inch rims on it with snows on them. Since its not the wider body it fills out the wheel well and fender.
They are
235/35/19
295/35/19
Now the question.
I am going to use these rims as track rims and have purchased the pilot sport cups for these
rims but 305/335/19 for the rears because they weren't avail for in the 295's....the shop says they will be fine and perform well??? Will this size change affect anything? Will it be fine? Also my cars not the wider body?

I have those sizes on my 2001 996 for the street tires as well but elected to go back to 18' rims for the track tire. I have to go back through a bunch of posts and PM's but I think the 305's will ok on the 997 but not on the 996.

305 on a narrow body 997 works...Porsche send the cars from the factory this way if you had the sport model of wheels.
Pirelli Trofeo is much better tire for track than the Michelin Sport Cups by the way. Even Toyo R888 is better than Michelin Sport Cups. ive used them all. Did you get our camber issue fixed so you can run r comp tires?
