2. I'm assuming I will need offset and fitment for these as well right?

3. Once installed, will I notice any rubs and/or misalignment issues with the 19" wheels (currently I have 18") ? I don't track my car, just daily driving to work and stuff.

Thanks!
www.wheelenhancement.com is THE best Porsche wheel & tire store I know of & tire Rack is good. In my opinion 19" is for looks only, ride quality & handling will degrade. Going from oem 17" to oem 18" my car is noticeably less nimble & wheel weight is very important, thats why I use the 03-04 18" carrera II wheels. Looking for a spare set for track tires too. If you do go with 19's you will need an alignment but stay with stock tire sizes & avoid rubbing issues
