Some members are doing 275/40/19 upfront and 305/35/19 for the rear.

I went with same diameter/rev per mile front & back:

255/45/R19 front 285/40/R19 rear. If you go with PSS tires in this setup, get the porsche N0 spec instead of regular spec tires. Those have same dimensions but wider thread/contact patch.

I went 275 on all 4 corners. And you can't go wrong with Michelin SS tires.

Since you are square all around, can you rotate the tires front to back even though the rear wheels are slightly wider ?

Thanks,

305's will fit the PP rear wheels??

Yes you can.

Yes you can.

Sweet! Good to know!

Yes you can.

But you will need spacers. The rear PP 9.5" wheel will rub upfront otherwise.

Also curious to know. Can't find any kind of DOT for 19s in anything less than a 305.

It's certainly possible I guess, they must bulge like crazy and I could see lowering the car being a possible issue. I'd squeezed some 285's on an 8.5" wheel years back on an S2000.
