Suprised nobody even bothers with which rim's width for those 305/295 (even 315) is for...
Different brand of tires will sit differently.

Likely not that noticeable a difference in handling. I've read that there may be a touch less understeer with 295's, but unlikely you would notice on the street. The ride quality may be slightly worse with 305's, but again it would be fairly subtle. Appearance is also not that different.
Basically it comes down to cost and personal preference. A bunch of smart German engineers put the optimal size on the car when it was delivered.

These are on the stock 20" wheels that come with the factory installed aerokit. The car is 20mm lower than a stock Carrera. I believe this wheel is 11in wide, which is good for a 315. No issues. Allan
STOP, STOP, STOP. Sorry, I misspoke. The 315s I have are Hoosier R6's mounted on my 19 " track wheels. I have 295s PSS's mounted on the stock 20" wheels. All work well. Very sorry for my confusion. Allan
I'll go with 305's when I buy the new wheels, and I def go back to PSS's - much better tires IMHO than the P-Zeros.
