Really not sure and hoping i dont get burned on this.

Check the condition of the other tires to see if the rest are dry rotted. How long has the car been sitting?
Pointed in?
I would say flush with the rear quarter depending on your alignment/stance/rideheight. Pictures from the back and looking down over the rear quarter wheel well should give us a decent angle.
"Really not sure and hoping i dont get burned on this." Ah, I hope you did your homework before buying. There is no such thing as a cheap Porsche.
Post and people will help.
