Sizing new tires and rims for 87 911

Here are the sets I'm looking at, both are turbo twists with tires.

Front
17x7.5 ET23 235/40/ZR17
Rear:
17x9 ET15 Rear: 245/40/ZR17

or

Front
17x 7.5J ET23 205/50ZR17
Rear
17x9J ET15 255/40/ZR17

If I'm reading the charts posted out there these should be OK but I'm certainly not an expert in this area.

Anyone see an issue with either of these sets or have any suggestions?

Thanks
Brian

Both should fit your car fine at stock ride height. If you are at Euro or lower, you may have some rubbing issues at the front with the 235/50.

I would choose the 205/255 set if it was me.

Turbo twists in an early offset? Where did you find these?

You can get aftermarket rims with the correct offsets for our cars
