Yes, Porsche has exceeded manufacturer's published recommendations a few times. That being said, I would presume that they designed the tires to accommodate (considering that N-spec tires are create in collaboration with Porsche).

You wouldn't be the first person to stretch a tire beyond the recommended limit. That's up to you. The tire in pics looks to be pushed beyond ideal rim width but will you die? No. It just might not perform as well as it could.
