C5Z wheel-tire info
Looking at TSW Panorama 18x9 fronts and 19x10.5 rears. Thinking of running 305-30-19 and 265-35-18 Conti Contact DW. Want to make sure this combo will be ok for traction control and keep everything happy. Also would like advise on a slightly taller set of tires for above wheels so I can fill up the wheel wells and not lower the car so much.

rear tire will look terrible on a 10.5. it's made for the porsche 19x12 and the lip overhang is nearly half an inch. does it work? yes? does it look proper? no
in the pss the 295 30 19 and 265 35 18 are the correct sizes
i tried the 305 on a 10.5 and took them off a few minutes later, the overhang is terrible. tire store was cool about it, ordered 295s and am very happy i did

I've got the same tire sizes in RE 11s on interlargos. Looks and works just fine. The front tire has a tiny bit of stretch look to it and rear is basically straight up and down. If anything I wish they made a 275 for the front that didn't increase the sidewall as it looks too thick compared to the rear with a 275 up front. That's why I chose 265. Also don't believe the hype about the tsw 10.5 fitting up front. Even with rack stops it'll hit the arms unless you run full stock height.

which brings up another thing. the re11, dw etc all look fine in 305
it's JUST the pss that has the extremely wide case and lip in that size, porsche spec's it on a 19x12 and i suspect that is why
