If I do Ruf 9&10 x 17 wheels on a 930 / M491, what are the recommended tire sizes? I assume there are a few pairing options? What are the aggressive, middle and conservative sizing options? I'm not a teenager anymore, so would prefer to avoid fitment issues.
first choice
245/40 & 275/35 x17 choices are Pirelli P Zero Rosso or Nanking CR-S or Hoosier R7

second choice 235/45 & 255/40 x17 BR RE-71RS or Hankook R-S4 or Maxxis RC-1
etc there are lots of possibilities

235/405 & 260/40 Michelin MPS4S isn't tpp bad

I'd avoid anything w/ 275/40 x17 as they are just too tall for most 911 drivetrains, you really want to keep the rears under 25.5" OD( <25" ideally) and ~20mm width stagger f/r
