OK.

I disagree. Don't like the look.

That pic is not a good angle to see the tire protruding.

Doesn't really matter what I think anyway. Go for it.

Picture proof and on 305s. Eh, where does it stick out as you described?

I plan to put factory Turbos on my 997.1 C2S. I'd like to know what size tires to go up front as well? 235 or 245? Plus will it need a spacer if 235?

The car in the picture is running 7mm up front. I don't think front spacers are required. I'm going to wait until they're mounted.

Offsets - I think the Turbo offsets are (or at least the setup I'm getting):
19"x8.5" ET58
19"x11" ET52

C2 NB Rear: 11 x 19 67mm (295/30 ZR19)
C4 WB Rear: 11 x 19 51mm (305/30 ZR19)

You can go up to 15mm and run 305's and still be flush. Of course tires have different shoulder profiles, pending the manufacture. Some are more round, and some are more square. Round tucks into the fender lip and some tires that are 305s are really 295 in others. Good Luck.

I had Carrerra sport wheels on my 08 C2S with 305's that were ordered with the car. Looked great.

^ if you are talking about the 10 spoke wheel, that wheel is great. It is 0.5" wider in the rear, not sure of the offsets though. They fit and look great.
