I'm running 65mm in the rear. if you reverse mount them, you will effectively achieve approx 51mm. I tried this but it rubbed on the passenger side. Planning on rolling my fenders or cutting them in order to run them with the reverse mount sometime down the road. I reverted to normal mount in the meantime to avoid rubbing...65mm.

Did you ever try running a bit more negative camber? Sounds like your close since your talking about only one side.
Another option in addition to rolling your fender is maybe slimmer tires, that don't have such a straight up sidewall. I'm guessing moving from an A/S tires might help.
That's pretty impressive your close to getting another 14mm, at 993fest they looked pretty flushed out already.
[I]Hello everyone, I am new on board. Here is my 94' C2 with Bilstein coil over. I'm trying to get some help on finding the right aggressive size with the max lip on a set of 18" LM. Does anyone knows and can help? Thank you so much

Welcome and nice looking 993. Are those Carrera classic wheels or MY02s? They look good!
Unfortunately with a NB you won't be able to reverse mount the LMs to gain more lip, it will just be too aggressive. Best fit I believe will be similar to Busta Rib's:
8x18 et 52 or 8.5x18 et 56 (preference to 8.5)
10X18 et 65
Since reverse mount isn't an option, I'd suggest polishing the lips as an alternative.
You can try contacting BBS, but from what I understand they are either on an extended back order or no longer available for 993 sizing. Used market is pretty challenging too, have to act quick!
knight, thanks for the quick reply! I'm not sure if mine are MY02's. The wheel came off a 996 C2 for sure.
following the size you prefer. If i see a used set on the market. The most aggressive size i can fit would be 18x8.5 et56 / 18x10 et65? Will this fit flush with my fenders?

Nsxt28, my 993 C2 NB also running 7.5x18 ET50 225/40/18 and 10x18 EY65 265/35/18. I think the only source is second hand from Japan, but the price is sky high
Pkoon,
Nice to see a fellow from HK agree with you, Japan yahoo auction might be the way as they often sell mint condition wheels.
Do you have a side shot of your c2? Just wanna check out your wheels
