Something to keep in mind is tire brand...My MSS have a lip on them that others don't and do notice a difference when I put my winter storage Hankook tires one.
I have the Carrera Sport wheels on my C4S and they are 19x11 rear and 19x8.5 fronts. Should I get 15mm and 7mm then? Or still 15mm all around?
10mm rears + 7mm fronts as far as you can go. The 997.1 Carrera sport wheels are 11.5, check the wheel markings to confirm and do a search here on rennlist re user 'destro' s car... he has the same wheels 10mm rear and 5mm front... I've seen his car in real life and we both agree there is room to push the front wheels further out.

You're right they are 11.5 on the rear. I thought they were 11 since my tire size is are 19x11.
I searched Destro. He has a red 997.2 S right? I have a 997.1 4S. Would I still go 10mm and 7mm ? I want a flush to aggressive stance.
fronts yes 7mm... now the rears i am not so sure as i am not sure as i have heard the sport wheels only come in narrow body size and have an oem spacer applied for the rears on the narrow body cars. can u see a spacer on your wheel?

Rears look very flush with 15mm spacers. I went with 10mm on fronts because I like the thinner look comparing with the muscular look of the rears (that's my personal preference). If you would like to have a very flush look on fronts and rears I would recommend 15mm all around. Also alignment could make a big difference since negative camber "tilts in" the top of the tire (towards the vehicle). My p-tech suggested some negative camber on fronts to enhance the handling. Carreras come from the factory with negative camber setup only on the rears and GT3s (for example) come with negative camber setup on rears and fronts.
