Below is straight from porsche.com, not sure if this is the best measurement to use, but it is what is available. I swear some of them look wider, maybe it was the 997.1?

Bave, I don't know what the deal is on those published widths, but that's sure what it says. Just to confirm what I listed above, however, is this blurb about the C4 from the site:
Specific to the all-wheel drive variants is the 44 mm wider stance at the rear and the new taillight strip, which, as a striking design feature, lends even more impact to the rear end.

The Porsche web site is wrong. The widths for the 2008 cars were correct on the web site but when they updated for the 2009 they screwed them up.
NB 71.18" = C2/C2S, GT3
WB 72.91" = C4/C4s, T4/T4S, Turbo, GT3 RS, GT2
NB 71.18" = C2/C2S, GT3
WB 72.91" = C4/C4s, T4/T4S, Turbo, GT3 RS, GT2
