P7 Corsa are the largest 16s I have records for, 315/40 x16 and 255/50x16, kinda tall though unless there is a pretty torquey motor involved

that's a drag radial and @27.7" tall going to be horrible unless you have 500hp +/-

in 17
Sumitomo HTRZ is 315/35 25.7" still a bit tall but useable w/ a decent 911 engine

Nitto 555G2 same specs
Nitto NTo1 315/35 x17 @25.34" is better but also a DoT R


MPS@ 335/35 @526" is also little taller than desirable for most

In 19
BBFG Rivals are 335/30x18 @25.9"
etc

The last 934 I looked at closely had the oe 10.5 & 12.5 x16 BBS centerlocks w/ Avon 13.5 /25.0

I have researched this to death a few years ago having a set of 10x16 CanAm wheels that I wanted to use for my M491 and/or a 934 build.

The available Pirelli Corsa's in 315/40R16 sidewall height is too tall.
