So I guess the 305's without spacers would also work.
I'm not 100% sure since I don't have 305s but my next set definitely will be. The tire will be a little more square on the rim.

do you end up throwing a ton of road debris up on the rear fenders with this setup? I like the look, but I use my C2 as a daily driver and am worried throwing crud all over the rear paint/bumper.

There's no disputing the great look of these wheels on the 997 NB.

No road debris on the rear fenders. My C2S is also a daily driver. The turbo wheels are easy to clean, hide the brake dust nicely, and hide the lug bolts.

I just bought a set of oem 19" turbo wheels for my NB 997.1. Thanks to John at Wheel Enhancement and all others that offered advice on fitment. I'll post pictures when I get them installed.

Gents, any pics of your WB OEM wheels on your NB 997?
I also bought the turbo 997.1 wheels and will be installing them when winter finally ends and I take my baby out of hibernation.

I couldn't be happier with them, they sit almost flush with the fender front and rear.
They changed the whole stance of the at compared to my stock 18s.
