No spacers are required on NB. They fit great. The tire sizes you mentioned will fit fine but just a little "thick" on 993s. Usually folks run F235/35 or F225/40 and R265/35 or R285/30. Hope that helps

P-Daddy - poor typing on my part, 18" not 19" - yes car is lowered to RS height. No impact to this point, not sure I need spacers, car handles fine with current set up. Used spacers on my old SC to push out the wheels and fill up the wells. I'm not sure if spacers would help me in any way.
I used 14 spacers in front to match the increase to the rear mostly for aesthetics. Offset on each front wheel is now increased by 9mm over the stock offset. No problems with tires rubbing, but the spacers restrict tire size to 225.

Yes, maybe negligible understeer. You wont feel it unless pushing the car near limit on a track. For everyday or pleasure driving.....na dah!! Alignment settings is another factor to consider that will affect your car's under/oversteer tendency too.
See post #9. Without spancers, you've widened the rear track by a total of 14mm and narrowed the front track by a total of 10mm, which will increase understeer by a small (maybe negligible) amount.

235/40/18 FRONT
265/40/18 REAR
these are the original size from factory for a 05 997.
found them on craigs w/ 5000 miles on wheels and tires.
They are pretty thick. I need new shocks soon. Was going to lower it to ROW. Not sure if I can with these wheels and tires?
They look great!
