You think I could use a 285 or even 295 rear tire and not rub?

I think for the front I can use 5mm spacers to help with the 13mm that the IV's will have to the inside inset and 1mm from the outside of the wheel to the inset.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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 have been searching and reading for days trying to figure out my specific wheel tire challenge, and have not found the answer. I see lots of vague info, and some misinformation out there. If anyone has
specific
experience with this exact setup I am trying to accomplish, please chime in!
My car is a 99 Narrow Body. I purchase a set of Carrera IV's, from a 2009 997.
The factory twists on my car are:
7.5" ET50 Front
10" ET65 Rear
The Carrera IV's are:
8" ET57 Front
10.5" ET60 Rear
I am concerned about the fitment of the wheels/tires and the clearance, especially on the rear. The Carrera IV's are 10.5 ET60, which results in 11mm increase(I believe this is the case per
http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator#
) in the wheel moved towards the outside. I have 265/35 18's on the stock wheels. It looks like there is little room between the fender and the tire as it sits stock.
I do not want to roll my fenders. My suspension is stock. I understand the 2002 and up have factory rolled fenders, which of course allows for wide wheels/tires/offsets.
I would like to go with a bit wider rear tire, but I am hoping not to buy tires and find out they wont work.... I am actually concerned that the stock 265/35 might not work....
Does anyone out there have this specific setup and can offer some guidance from known fact, because you have already done it?
I think for the front I can use 5mm spacers to help with the 13mm that the IV's will have to the inside inset and 1mm from the outside of the wheel to the inset.
I appreciate your help!
PO of my car put 19" Victor wheels on. I think they made a mistake speccing the rears as 11" wide instead of 10.5" . Look how far out the rim lip is. Tires are 275/30/19 with a stretched fitment. Is that just so the tires dont rub on the fender lip?
You think I could use a 285 or even 295 rear tire and not rub? I hate the stretched look.
I own this car now with different wheels. I can confirm that the 997 wheels fit with no issues. There was no rubbing or interference of any kind at factory ride height.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
