Stick with OEM Sizes

Front 18X8 go with 225/40/18

Rears 18X10 go with 285/30/18

Thats the set up im running and I have 18X8.5Front and 18X10Rears they fit perfectly. Those sizes are standard on the 2004 911's with 18" Wheels

Hi,

If you go 235 aspect ratio, you'll experience severe tramlining and poor wet traction and steering. Personally, I wouldn't do it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
