on reading the manual - it helpfully states either:

235/35/ZR19 8J x 19 H2 57mm
305/30/ZR19 11.5J x 19 H2 51mm

or

235/35/ZR19 8.5J x 19 H2 55mm
305/30/ZR19 11.5J x 19 H2 50mm

Does anyone know the correct front wheel size and offsets - without me taking a trip to the tyreshop to have them removed and look at the stamped sizes on the inside of the wheels?

Cheers Simmo

They are both correct. Most of the fronts are an 8J. Carrera Sports are wider.

They both fit. The wider ones stick out a touch more and look better in the arch.

I presume you are looking at third party wheels. You have to be careful not to deviate from the Porsche spec by much or the wheel could rub on the arch or something on the inside edge.

Fronts are the same on wide and narrow bodied cars, BTW.
