You need 304.8 GB of space. Whether you add that to your C: or another space, that's the absolute minimum required to complete the restore. The 132 GB free space you mentioned simply doesn't come anywhere near the required 304.8 GB.
Keep in mind that this free space is on the computer running SQL Server, which may or may not be your client.
If you can't find that amount of free space, you can't perform the restore.
