So I've always wondered this, the 40th front bumper looks the same as the Turbo and C4S. Is it the same fitment? Or is there a NB fitment for the front bumper? Or are they all the same size and the a$$ end is the difference?
Same, but the 40th has painted grilles and the others have black.
So no issue running with the 235/40/18’s on the factory 8” wheel up front and 295/30/18’s in back on the factory 10” wheel?
With the 235/40 the only issue might be the underside of the spring perch up front. I ran 245/40/18 BFG R1 race tires for a bit and they rubbed some on the spring perch and the front fender liner, but they would be considerably taller than a 235/40 street tire.
255/35/18 and 315/30/18 will fit on stock wheels on stock suspension. You'll want a 5-7mm spacer on the front to clear the strut but it won't touch the fender liner or the strut. Rear is no issue at all but I was running 2 degrees of camber. You would need at least 1 degree I think. With the 295 you could probably get away with a stock alignment.
the 295's in back, are they Sumi's ?
I had a set of those and while very attractively priced they were at the end of their life cycle
One they stiffen up they become quite noisy
Also Sumi's 295 runs a little wide, almost like a shoe that 'runs large'
You'll be fine, some racers have run 305 in the back
the MKII's have more clearance in the wells than previous 996's

Hi Ted, After spending a "couple" of bucks on engine matters, it's running great as ever. Just turned 345,000 yesterday. Looking forward to any Porsche 40th events this year. Auto Edge of St. Paul,Mn. did a great job of cleaning up/refreshing things, couldn't believe car has 345k on it! Steve
