A good forum to query would be Planet-9 . That site consists entirely of 987 owners, and I'm sure that there are many members who can provide definitive answers to your questions .

Just FYI,

I wouldn't recommend any more than a 10.5" rear set-up as an 11" will either rub on the inside in order to clear or will stick-out around 1/2".

Here are two 986 Porsche cars each using the same RPK-038 Wheels using the same 19x8.5 (45) & 19x10.5 (43), Tires: 235/3519 & 275/30/19....

that's great.
i saw some of your posts on the pelican forum, and i really love the wheels you have.
might even buy a set in the future (depends on the discount ).
this is a great forum (most active in the boxster community) with great people.
so i'm sure a lot will be interested.

Factory specs for 19s on a 987.1 are:

F 8" 57mm
R 9.5" 46mm

This handy-dandy calculator will let you know what the effect is when you go with a different combination.
