Wheel & Tire Size

[David_J]

I put 19s on about a week after buying my car. I am so glad I made that decision. The look is great, the ride is great. I live and work just outside the Seattle area and the roads are pretty good here.

Yes.. There are people out here running 19's.. maybe even a couple with some 20's.

Porsche only "certified" use of 16-18"s for your year car due to the increased stress on the chassis that 19's transmit. Porsche did substantial revisions to the 987/997 chassis to handle 19"s as a factory wheel.

That said, no one says you can't put 19s on your car. However, should you begin to crack or stress chassis/subframe pieces, don't expect Porsche to replce them for free

Comes down to vehicle use in part. Also, tire availability can be an issue. Not sure Pep boys carries a lot of high performance 19" tires
