Default C4S vs CS wheel fitment? Differences?

Hi. Am looking closely at an opportunity to upgrade to a 2010 997 C4S from my current vehicle 2009 997 CS as I decided that a turbo or GT3 just wasn't in the cards (too much car for the money and my uses). So am looking at a few options one of which includes a moderately used 2010 997 C4S in my preferred color (other than black) but with my prefered interior (black).

Car has all options I'd like an is a little more optioned than my current car. Question is will my current BBS CH-R's fit the new C4S or will I need spacer or a new set of rears. Current rears are 19x11 ET56 and tire size is 285/30-19. Dealer service mgr says my wheels will fit the C4 with spacers but isn't the OEM fitment on a C4 19x12 ET45 and tire size 305/30-19 (TireRack also says similar)? So who is right? Will this work or are new rears and tires in order?

Also comments on the difference between a 2009+ CS and C4S are also appreciated?

The stock C4S rear wheels are 11 x 19 (not 12 x 19) with 305/30/19 tires, but I don't recall the offset. Your wheels will fit but may need 10mm (if the stock offset is 45) or 15mm (if the stock offset is 41)spacers to get them to where the OEM wheels sit in the fender.

Just checked the OEM wheels on my '09 C4S and Tim K is correct. If you install the BBS wheels, I'd like to buy your OEM's for winter snows.
