Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

FWIW I run 56mm Minus 15mm spacer = 41mm up front on 8.5J / 235/35 and 67mm 11J 315/25 (997 044 602 25?) out back, never rubbed, excellent tire wear (stock suspension)
Leading evidence: 'Run 56mm minus 15mm spacer = 41mm up front' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'bigger problem here' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 235' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
Offset/spacer size is probably a bigger problem here.

Suspected cause
Yea, I had not had coffee yet - offsets are probably the issue

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.

Need some advice on some wheel fitment problems. I bought these wheels on ebay. They are 19 x 10 and 19 x 8.5. I put some some Sumitomo III 235 35 19 on the fronts. When we put the front wheels on, the curved spoke rubbed a bit on the front caliper. So I got some HR 7mm spacers to put on the front. After putting on the spacers, the tire rubs the front and back inside of the tire well. I had this work done at discount tire. Are there things a shop can do to the well to make this work?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I like this calculator

Put the OEM size on the left side and your new set up on the right, down the page there are suggestions of what to do - or options,... its really a very useful tool (you must put in the offsets too)
C2 or C4 - for C2 your tires are too wide IMO 235
What does a 996 GT3 come with?
The 997 GT3 comes equipped with 8.5 and 12 x 19 inch rims and 235/35 and 305/30 tires. It probably all comes down to offset. If you're actually touching a brake caliper than i would have elected to go for a 5mm spacer (not 7mm) to gain just enough clearance and no more.
