From that picture, it doesn't look too bad, just need to remove the huge wing and the roll cage, who is he trying to fool. That thing is for show and will never see the track. I have never been a fan of any convertible with a huge wing, don't see the point. That little ducktail it has there is plenty of wing.

your rears imo are WB , they should be already flush, another 15mm in the back (or anything for that matter will push it the wheel out beyond the fender). also since your front's are the stock 8.5 wheels from a turbo car (and not the standard 8inchs), i believe 5mm is all you need to push the fronts out, MAX 7mm.

Front 8" x 19" ET57
Rear 11" x 19" ET67
I think because my car doesn't have PASM, wheels kind of look flush with the standard suspension.
I am thinking eibach springs + 10mm front + 15mm rear.

I was wrong in saying my car has the wheels from the 997.2 turbo. In fact, I checked the wheels yesterday and found printed specs:
Front 8" x 19" ET57
Rear 11" x 19" ET67

i have 15mm in the front (its flush but my car is at oem height)... if my car was lowered i'd do 12mm (still safe and wont rub). 7mm is definitely too mild and you will 100% visually notice a difference between front and back. all IMHO.
also make sure your new extended lug bolts/spacer color matches the color of your wheels, that was my stupid mistake and i had to re-order a diff color of bolts after (for my fronts)
