They supplied the bolts I used, although stock bolts are supposed to work as well.
Leading evidence: 'Use although stock bolts are supposed' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Suggestion
Is 305/30/19 within the recommended diameter difference???

Suggestion
When running a tire that is larger (or smaller) than the difference tolerance allows for (not sure what Porsche's is) you will change the wheel speed that is used to calculate various parameters such as when to kick in ABS, TC, PSM, AWD transfer, etc..

The ideal solution is to run the tire which porsche fits on the 997s wit 19x11 and 19x12 wheels, typically 315/25R, which puts you in at 25.2 RD, (inside of 1% with 235/35 fronts)
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.

Hello all. I wanted to share some pix of my new wheels. I know many don't agree with going from 18" to 19", but the ride seems better to me (maybe it's just the new tires). In any case, I am very happy with the new look, and am curious what everyone else thinks. First 2 pix are the original rims, next 3 are the new ones. Thanks for looking!
AWE !!
I was looking at the first pic wondering how I was going to say something nice
HOLY COW, those look GREAT !!! (much much better!)
nice upgrade, looks like a real POrsche now
looks good; better than the chrome twists... Enjoy them in good health...
What brand and rear tire size are you running on?
For Replicas, offsets look spot on. Curious eyes would think you spent a bundle on the wheels, so be careful where you park....
Thank you. I'm using Hankook's 305/30/19 on rear
Thanks Dell. Yeah, I was skeptical on the 19's too, but happy I made the switch. Mounted perfectly - close, but no rubbing. They supplied the bolts I used, although stock bolts are supposed to work as well. Bought them off of Ebay from Eurowheel USA - made a reasonable offer, and they accepted. Great seller.
Lol - yeah, that project didn't turn out so well
[QUOTE=FLY996;7690441]
The Hankooks in that size are over 26" in diameter (26.3" to be precise). THey are almost 1.5" larger than OEM sizing and absolutely the wrong size. If you run 19's you need to run the 25 series tire not the 30.
Thanks for the pics, I really wanted to see how they looked on black. I do like the look of this set on light colors, but they seem almost overwhelming on black. Maybe it's just the photos being a little overexposed or the lighting, I'm sure they look great in person.
I personally think C4S and Turbo look fine with the twists, I'd have shot a smoked clear (just mix in black) on them for a shadow chrome effect, would look amazing.
BTW +1, that rear tire is too tall, way too tall. AWD you want that RD as close to spec as possible. Are you on the stock suspension?
Great look!! Much improved...I thought the 1st set were your new ones and wasn't really feeling it...your new rims look fantastic and really give it the more agressive Porsche look....nice!!
With the AWD cars is also just as important (actually more so) to have the front and rear as close to the same as possible (to be even more precise check out revs per mile by the manufacturer).
OP- great choice, rims looks perfect...
I'm also interested in more info on the 305/30. I've seen other members run this size with no probs and others not recommend it. I run a 315/25 but want to move to the 30 series just because of the higher sidewall, but dont know if I should.

Once I procure my next 911, hopefully by the end of summer, I am either going with these rims, or the same that I had on my 99 Aero. I forget the name of the replicas that I had (maybe champion type?), but the main difference with them was that they had a super-wide chrome deep-dish rim on the rears (with 295's, I can't believe you guys are getting 315's on without rubbing, wow). I loved the look of those rims, but was afraid to drive the car and hit a pothole.
The wheels in this thread don't seem to have a dish on them at all, but seem to come out to the outer edge of the rim. Anyone know if this makes them less likely to bend in general? Seems logical to me, but who know?
thanks,
Todd
huge improvement over the chrome twists in my opinion. Wheel upgrade can "make" a car.... good choice going with the mesh style. Any noticeable difference in ride or steering input?
Just an FYI, email reply from the manufacturer:
Hi Mr. Hans,
I have received your email regard our Ruger Porsche wheels size availability.
Unfortunately all our Ruger wheels only come in 19” staggered set up, and we have no plans for the 18” sizes at this moment.
Hope your customer will be ok with the 19” size.
+1, also speedometer, and on AWD will dictate the relative load on the front diff, especially with a large difference in RD as the OP has with the 305/30 (assume the fronts are 235 or 245/35 so 25.5ish RD, pretty big difference)
Running as you are is a not so great idea which will have no short term consequences but may have long term consequences in terms of limit/emergency handling/braking, speeding tickets (just use a GPS to figure out your speedo error and you can correct for this though) and potential mechanical failure. You can mitigate some of this, but not all of it. The ideal solution is to run the tire which porsche fits on the 997s wit 19x11 and 19x12 wheels, typically 315/25R, which puts you in at 25.2 RD, (inside of 1% with 235/35 fronts)
Interesting. I just assumed since i thought they were more "shiny" than the 40th which I thought was polished.
Did they ever offer the option for this bling that belongs on big SUV's???
