That situation is the case for most of the 997 wheels--fronts, only.
It's best to have a rubber mat or good thick towel. Too late for you, however!
I discovered it the hard way as well when I found one of my paver stones was up a bit and resulted in the same issue.

Drifting
I did my brake pads last year; I did everything super careful, taking it slow, took the wheels off and laid them on blankets, cleaned the insides of the wheels and brakes, right when I'm feeling satisfied about how good I've been to my Porsche, I go to torque up the lugs and scrape the fender with the handle of the torque wrench.
Turns out the fenders stick out enough past the wheels that a long torque wrench will scratch them

Buff, clean, apply touch up paint to the single scratch with toothpick, smooth out, buff, wax. Lesson learned. Now there's an extension on the socket when I work the lug bolts.
