19" Techart Wheels

[Jappo]

Anyone know what the correct tyres should be for an aftermarket set of Techart 8.5x19 and 11x19 wheels on a 996TT?

Many thanks in advance

235's front, and 295's rear seem to be OK with least hassle...

i think some have gone to 305 or even 315's on the rears, but have heard of some cutting that is required wheel arch liners.

I have HRE 19"s with 235 front and 315 rear but my car is on US suspension and so a little higher which may be the reason they don't rub.
305 should be ok

Thanks, are these 30 profile? If so, on 19" wheels (as opposed to the standard 18&quot I would imagine that the gearing is changed quite significantly - did you have to correct your speedo?

I have 19" Techarts and run on 235/35 and 315/25. Not sure what version of techarts they are but you can see them on my profile picture if that is any help

They're the ones - any speedo differences?

[SpeedFreakDave]

maybe a little, 5-7mph max, so at 184 it shows 190, I only know this from doing vmax

OK, bought them. Anyone know if I can use the standard wheel nuts that are holding on the standard 18" Turbo wheels? Or do I need to purchase some specifically from Techart?
