I have a set of Wheels that i had on my Porsche 996, they are
Kahn RS-C2pc with 8.5 x 19 fronts and 9.5 x 19 Rears
Now after reading lots of things on the web, i am now considering putting them on my LWB, what i want to know is, what size tyre will i need to put on these, given that i want overall size of 35" ?

This is a link to a tyre size calculator. If you mess around with different sizes then you should get a different range from which to choose.

Not sure thats a good idea. Porsche wheels are not made to fit heavy vehicles like a G-Wagen. Heard some horror stories from a wheel supplier called silverline in the midlands about this. the hubs were breaking away. Do you research first
