Default 305's on 19X11 Turbo II?

I am trying to decide if I should go with 305's on my 19X11 ET67 Turbo II with 15MM spacers? I did searching and couldn't get great shots of what this may look like. I currently have 295's on the rear but I know many people have gone with 305's but I generally see the offsets are different. I have a 997.2 NB, so I wondered how this would end up looking. Currently have Michelin and the new set would also be Michelin. Anyone who knows how this offset and spacer with 305's would look please let me know. Thanks

Should be fine. You're talking 5mm to the inside and 5mm to the outside with the 10mm wider tire. That's less than 1/4". 305s on an 11" wide wheel are fine.

I've been doing page and page searches and reading up. My concern wasn't so much the fit but the overall look. I know the 305's will fit, but the slightly bloated look on the rear was not my goal.

There’s no bloated look with 305s on an 11” wheel. They don’t look stretched at all.

Thanks. I was more worried they would look too big on the rear and give a big tire small tire look matched with the 235 fronts. My current 295's look great, so I'd not want to have too much of a bulge out back.
