Default 18 in Carrera IV Wheel/Tire question

This pertains to the Narrow Body car.

How wide of a tire can I go on the rear? The wheels are 18x10.5 (ET 60) and P recommends 265's. 275's are prob ok, but are 285 or 295s? I dont want to use spacers.

tks

My 996 had 18" x 10" wide wheels. They came standard with 285 tires and I moved to 295 tires without a problem and no spacers.

I think i will gamble and put 295/35-18 PS2s in the back which have very similar size with the 265/40s...

They should fit with no issues i hope...

ok I wanna clarify my original question. I have a 997.2 C2s w/ 295's mounted on 19x11 (et67).
The others are 265's mounted on 18x 10.5 (et 60). How wide can I go w/o using spacers? Just eyeing it 275's are ok, but can i go to 285's or possibly 295's w/o rubbing the inner part where the shock resides? Note the offset are different. tks again.
