Talking Tires for RS171 19" on a 2005 996tt

I finally bought a new (to me) set wheels for my ride and I am not sure what tires I should go with in terms of size. My car is AWD and I have heard that the wrong size could damage diff? This is my first Porsche and I am learning as I go. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Wheel Specifications are as follows:

Wheel Diameter - 19"
Width - 8.5" Front / 11.5" Rear
Offset - + 53 Front / + 62 Rear
PCD (Bolt Pattern) - 5x130 (Porsche Fitment)

For anyone who is watching, I found the correct tire sizes 235/35 19 front and 315/25 19 rear

Bigger problem. I cant find any 315/25 19 ???? Oh shi_!

Michelin PS2 and Toyo T1R are pretty much the big 2 left making the 315's. I have both on backorder now (neither have a production schedule listed at this time), but will be happy to get your name on the list for them if interested. Call me me if interested.
