Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

FWIW I run the 265/35 in both the PS2 and the PSC on 18x10s.
Leading evidence: 'Run 265/35 in both the ps2 and the psc' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 265/35 in both the ps2 and the psc' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I know that they did, but I can't find them, even on the Michelin website. They now seem to offer only the Pilot Sport and Sport Cup in that size.
PS2's are listed for the front size. 225/40 18.
I just put a set on the rear of my 2002 C2-Michelin 285/30ZR18 Pilot Sprt rib N1.
Purchased from Wheel Enhancement in Culver City, Calif. just 2 weeks ago.

That was my inclination as well, but I was a little concerned with the rim width.
IIRC (it's pretty foggy), Porsche moved from 265/35 to 285/30 (for the 18" wheels) when they did the '02 refresh. While the wheel designs were different, they were (this is the foggy part) the same width (10"). I don't know how wide a tire you can put on an 18x10, but it seems to me that if they already added 20mm to the tire without adding any wheel width that another 10mm might be pushing it.
FWIW I run the 265/35 in both the PS2 and the PSC on 18x10s. Works great on road and on track, so I wouldn't suppose 275/35 is going to be a problem.
Anyone have better info or expertise on this?
You can put hte 295 on your 10" rim no problem. It works better with a 285 tire which is actually the optimal size for the rim width. But still, no problem at all going with 295/30 in the rear. I would even suggest moving to the 235/40 tire in the front if you have the 8" rim to help balance out the understeer you might induce by increasing the rear track without following suit up front.
THe 295/30 will be OK. As Dell stated above, the 285/30 is perfect for a 10" wide wheel. While a 10.5" width wheel is optimal for the 295/30, it will work on a 10" wheels. Here are the specs from the Tire Rack site.
--Tire Size------Rim Width Range
275/35 ZR18 -- 9" - 11"
275/40 ZR18 -- 9" - 11"
295/30 ZR18 -- 10" - 11"
295/35 ZR18 -- 10" - 11.5"
