Cheapest route = lift your car up about an inch and let the wheels stick out.

If looks dont matter, put 2 inch spacers on and bolt them on. It they do matter, move on.

Can't beat the 14's

11.5 inch rear, ET 60, Tire is 315/35/17 Hoosier R6, Wheel is Fikse 3piece Mach IV.

I upped the contrast on the rear shot so you could better see where the tire sits.

I just looked and its the same as a pair of wheels Im looking at, they stat this at design911.com

Wheel size 8.5J ET53 front & 10J ET26 rear
Fits:996/Cayman/Boxster 986/987/993/964
Recommended tyre size 235/35/19 & 265/35/19.

ET26 would never ever fit a 996 C2, I have ET45 and thats EXACT with the end of the fender.

These wheels are pretty nice but I think they messed up the ET
