They do fill out the rear wheel well out a tad more over the 295's.

A couple of pics..







My bandwith is running out from my roadfly account...don't know how much longer these pics will be up.

Are you guys sure the Carrera Classics for C2/C2S are the same as those for the C4/C4S? I would have sworn those wheels were different in some way. Maybe it's the offset I'm thinking of.

Sizes are the same, offsets for the rears are 52mm vs. 67mm. For the classics and lobsters though I think they just run a spacer in the rear.

Not true actually, they're different offsets. The GT3RS uses the GT3 wheels plus a spacer. There may be other models that do, but I know for a fact that the Classics are available in both offsets (I just purchased the widebody offset rear wheels for my C2S).

I remember for the lobsters there was only one offset and spacers were used. I wasn't so sure on the classics..thanks for the info. The OP has a C2S so either way...

Your pictures above look awesome btw. Are you running spacers there? I am waiting for the warm weather before I can put my summer wheels back on (and thus try the new widebody offsets), so I'm anxious to see what the stance will look like.

No completely stock other than the 305's. The widebody offsets look great on a C2. Some people find it to aggressive, I love it that way.

I have just installed Carrera Classics with 305s on the rear. My car is an 05 C2 and the wheels are from a C4S. they are different in offset, and fit just about clearing the rear fenders. I want to lower it know but I believe the clearance will be just about
