E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Closest to stock size would be 245/35/19 and 275/30/19, but, they offer such little wheel protection I moved to 255/35/19 and 285/30/19. A tad wider and taller. No rubbing. Stock settings for me.

W211 E55, 911 turbo, 911sc, RX330
I bought some Linea Corse from Wheeldude a few years ago for my 930 turbo and had some problems with runout. That in turn caused a shimmy in my steering. I went through 2 sets and they still had the same problem. I put the stock wheels back on my car and she was steady as a rock.
Back then, the wheels were made just for Wheeldude and was a special casting for his company. They were made by Rota in the Phillipines. I'm not sure if they are still made by Rota, but lots of people shy away from them. There is a saying, "Friends don't let friends roll on Rotas".
As for tires, I have a set of Michelin Pilot Sports and Yokohama S Drives. Both are very good.
