Is it the pics or do the rear rims look like they can take even a bigger tire?

Great pictures of amazing one of a kind narrow body 996 --> widebody 996.
Your 6†lip is unbelievable

In the rear the 355/25/19 is largest tire any manufacture currently makes. I wanted to run a matching tire up front, so I was stuck with the 255/30/19 from pirelli. I had to remake the wheel to a 9" wide wheel. Otherwise I would have liked to run a 265/30/19 with a 9.5" wide rim in the front. I don't have the AWD system so I don't have the keep the rolling diameter at 3% change.

Wow. If someone who wanted to change their 1999 C2 to something like that, what would you tell them what to expect to spend?
