In my opinion, your stance is perfect. That's not stock suspension, is it? Are you running any spacers?

Thanks!

No. I had them built. Those were the textered gunmetal. Mine are gloss gunmetal.

No spacers.

Very nice! How's the steering feel with the 245s? Wondered if there's any negative to going wider, my C4 comes with 305 rear but keeps 235 up front. When its time to get new wheels I've been thinking going up 245 in front as well.

I bought the car used. It has Sports/Chrono/PASM and I thought the springs were stock. When I had the wheels off I googled the part numbers on them and they appear to be older H&R Sport part numbers that were superseded in 2011. I test drove a few 997.2 C2S cars and this one rides really no different than the rest I drove, it's just a little lower than most.

Did you get the car aligned when you put the new wheels on? If so any issues getting everything within spec limits? Those are the exact wheels I have been looking at but I was planning on going with eibach springs. With how good yours looks maybe I will go H&R. Thanks for posting up the pics!

Aligned with the factory wheels still mounted. No issues at all. I went for a little more camber than spec.

235 / 305 work perfectly together.
