I have been running 315/25 with 235/35 since 2007 Summer.
Leading evidence: 'Run 315/25' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 315/25' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have stock 18" turbo twist wheels on my 4S now
front: 225/40-ZR18 ( 8" wide )
rear: 295/30-ZR18 ( 11" wide )
The wheels I want to buy ( Roderrick RW5 ) are 19"
front: 8.5" wide
rear : 11" wide
and are hub centric for 996's - no spacers required
A wheel retailer told me I would need the following tire size for the RW5 wheel
front: 235/35-ZR19
rear: 315/25-ZR19
and when I went to Tire Rack's website and did the fitment it showed
front: 225/35 - ZR19
rear: 315/25- ZR19
they also showed only the Michelin PS2 available in both sizes
Are either of these correct ? Anyone have experience with the proper size for a 19" wheel like this ? I don't want to roll my fenders - just a simple swap and minimize the effect on the all wheel drive system . Any feedback is appreciated !
315/25 and 235/35 or 225/35 is the correct size for 19" Wheels on a 996 WB
315/25/19 are Discontinued by all brands.
Michelin might make some more, but people doubt it.
There are a few thread on 6speed on this Topic is lots of Info on 315/25 Tires
Only Option is 305/30/19 with 225/40/19 or 235/35/19
I have been running 315/25 with 235/35 since 2007 Summer.
First 4 years Toyo T1R's (Best Tires Ever) went thru 2 Sets of Rear and 1 Set of Front in 4 Summers, then i had Pirelli Rosso which last 1 Summer lols and now on my last set of Michelin PS2 which looks like it will last this Summer only.
Next Summer i sell my 19's and go back to 18" Wheels
I wouldn't do that if I had a C4.
225/35/19, 315/25/19 is the ideal
235/35/19, 295/30/19 is pretty common.
245/35/19, 295/30/19 is a better fit in diameter for a C4, but may not fit depending on your front offset.
OP and I have a C4S (Widebody)...
I never implied these sizes for a Narrowbody C4 like yours.
That size will definatly not work proper on a narrowbody.
295/30 would work but Tire is too Narrow for 11.5" or 12" Wheels which most 19 Wheels are for 996 WB
245/35 like you said might be too wide in a 19" Wheel as it would Rub Against the Plastic Wheel Wells
305/30 with 225/40 or 235/35 are both within 3% Diff so there should be no issues
Thanks for the heads up , Zook . I guess it's never easy - I was hoping for a no brainer "plug and play " . Maybe I should Plasti-dip my twists, huh ? I have the polished wheels and to me they look like they belong on a low rider . I'll keep looking for some nice 18" wheels but haven't seen many to my taste so far.
