Hi!
Does that mean that 295/30 tires are allowed on the 4S with 20" wheels?
I´m still waiting for the answer from my porsche dealer.
Because I will change the tires only on my Platinum wheels ... I do not want to have another 20" or even 19" wheels set.

My first impressions:
- car has more ground clearance than the C2S;
- car comes with 305 20" rear tires (the S comes with 295);
- the side skirts are different on a C4S compared with the C2S (on the C4S are more aerodynamic, like a lateral blade);
- people saying they don't notice the wider rear shoulder are talking nonsense;
- the camera doesn't show correctly how nice the platinum silver goes with the natural leather espresso + aluminium trim;
- the rear C4S stop light is really nice;
- I am glad I didn't went for silver stitching and silver seat belts;
- I highly recommend the leather PDK outer rim option.

Tasteful car inside and outside!
The Carrera Classic wheels complement the smooth profile of the standard body (no Sport Design or Aerokit bits) very nicely. They also appear larger in diameter due to their spoke design than the other available wheel designs, which is a good aesthetic trick.
Give us your account please of driving (safely) the C4S on some tricky winter roads.

... The only available code for winter tires on a C4S was ANW 295/30R20 97 Michelin PA4
... does that mean that there are no 19" wheels for C4S available ?
... and what would be the tires sizes for 19" wheels on the C4S if they are available?

IMO this is the most elegant color combo available for the 911, Plat silver + espresso with aluminium accents. What an elegant car. Your report of the 4S with all that snow should be interesting, and I'd really like to see some pics of that rear reflector with the light on if you could.

The current information I have for the 991 Carrera models looks like this:
19'' Carrera Wheel
FA: 235/40 R19
RA: 285/35 R19
20'' Carrera S Wheel
FA: 245/35 R20
RA: 295/30 R20
The wheel sizes for the Carrera 4/4S models are similar but not identical, apparently there is a difference in rim offset. Tire sizes should be right though. The 20'' wheels can be a little bit problematic on snow/ice because of the wider front tire.

I have the same info as RC. I was talking about 20" winter rims&tires.
I believe you can install 19" winter rims&tires on a C4S too but I love my rims so much that I don't want to do that.
Apparently you can get even 18'' rims on the C4S but it would look quite stupid with the wider rear.

18" only on C2/C4 as far as I know.
C2S/C4S & 18" rims don't mix.
You are right, I mixed up the 997 and 991 sizes. Sorry about that.
I corrected my post, only two sizes seem to be currently available for the 991, incl. the 991 C4/C4S models.

Interesting read. So there is only one 19'' wheel type available but four 20'' wheels.

Pentium,
congratulations on your new car. I remember you were contemplating a purchase for quite some time. Enjoy many miles with it!
To the above comments,
could it be that the springs have to settle on your car until it has finally settled at its correct ride height? Would be surprising if the AWD models have more ground clearance.
The 997 already had a rather subtle increase in width that did not occur immediately. That little increase does make a difference stylistically though.
I agree on the leather option on the centre console. A fairly cheap option that does make a big difference.
Also from the less obvious options I would highlight:
Black Tachometer | 22 | 0,00 € | |
Smoking package | 583 | 0,00 € | |
Lighting design package | 630 | 440,30 € | |
Rear center console with leather stitching (Exclusive) | XHS | 821,10 € | |
Porsche crest on headrests (Exclusive) | XSC | 202,30 € | |
Sports steering wheel design | 840 | 416, | |
Panel center console Leather (Exclusive) | XHB | 238,00 € | |
Brushed aluminum interior package (with leather trim / with PDK) (Exclusive) | EEN | 773,50 € | |
