Rear offset wise you should be able to get away with anything between a 35ish and 65 with the later needing about a one inch spacer... I believe factory is 44mm? I don't like 19 unless the car is lowered... you should be able to 275/30 and 235/35 tires

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.

A 315 rear is going to stick out, a lot. That's turbo territory.

Chaudanova,
The springs are Eibach. Drives like a champ and handles even better. I can't see spending the money on coil overs unless you hit the track all the time, or plan on keeping the car for ever. I have only ever put spring on cars, probably 8 of them now, and have never had any problems with any of them. I even put H&R's on my new 987. I would not hesitate using H&R or Eibach. You can get other springs like Champion and Gamballa and so on, but they contract with Eibach or H&R to run the springs for them, so i would rather stick with the guys that do all them testing and actually make the springs.

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...
