Personally I think 19"s look too big on a 986 body style. Although 987s looks AWESOME with 19"s.
Stick to 18"s and lower it however you will,Eibach springs,RoW kit or Coilovers and it will look sweet!

IMHO, save that weight and go with 18"s. You get a little more rubber to dampen noise and shock a bit. That extra rubber can also help with feeling when the tires are pushed to the limit.
I think going with 19"s is more about show...

19s - 245-40-19 front - 275-35-19 rear. I wouldn't trade them and the ride difference is negligible.
This is the one you lowered for me. It looks even better lowered.

I say go with the 19's. The look great and run even better. Here's apic of my 986, and then i swapped the wheels over to the 987, i think it looks good on both.

O.K. DJ, do what you want. But don't think you can rub Enzyte on them when you find out they're an inch too short...
