They are .5" wider front and rear and they will fit any 2005-2010 Carrera or Carrera S. The stock tire sizes that come with this wheels are:
235-35-19 FRONT and 305-30-19 REAR.
If you have a Carrera 4 or 4s or Turbo or GT3RS Porsche makes this wheel with a different rear offset too.
235-35-19 FRONT and 305-30-19 REAR.

Someone once told me that it is not a good idea to run spacers on the track. Something to do with LSD, if I recall correctly. Is there any truth to that?

i'm asking you to send me a photo of just a wheel / tire combo.
I tried to get Maya to order these wheels when she bought her 09.
I want to Pshop them onto her Nordic Gold car and see how the grey looks with gold.
thanks

nothing to do with the LSD.
Conventional Wisdom / Urban Myth tells us that the fact that the mounting face of the wheels is extended beyond the original design parameters = likely more stress on suspension components, 'specially wheel bearings.
IMO it's not a concern with a street car.
Could certainly be a concern with a track car running slicks.
But as with most Conventional Wisdom / Urban Myth, you don't really know unless you do the analysis yourself.
cheers

Seriously though, your car color makes my pants tight. I want Nordic Gold on my next one. No doubt about it.

Just use Edgy post as he uploaded a pic of only tires. I don't have only wheel/tire pic on its own.

Just ensure the spring rates are not far off the stock, as spring/shocks are matched on stock suspension to work together perfectly.
In terms of how low, if you look at my pics, I think the 10mm (0.4 inch), is PERFECT. Low enough for sporty, good looks, and not too low to scrape off every bump on the road. I wouldn't go much lower than that.
Also for the spacers, how big? ensure you're not going too wide as the wheels are already widest OEM wheels you can get and you're not widebody!
