No, it is 35mm on the 11" rim -- the setup is for a wide-body car 996 or 997. It's the equivalent of a 12" wide wheel with an offset of 48 mm, which is pretty much identical to the stock RS wheel offset when you take into account the 5mm spacer. The HRE 11" rear wheel with these aggressive offsets will fill up the wide-body (RS, C4S, TT) wheel well just as much as the 12" stock wheel does on the RS and you don't need the factory spacer.
As for whether it's too narrow a wheel, that depends on the size tire you're planning to run. I know some feel that the 12" rim is too wide for the RS's 305 tire.... is the 11" too narrow???
