Default Need a Quick Answer regarding wheel offset

Will these 18x8.5 52mm and 18x10 with 48mm offset fit a 87 944 turbo? I know the fronts shouldnt be a problem im thinking but the rears?? Spacers?

i thought the rears needed a higher offset so more of it fits under the wheel well. like the turbo s wheels are 60 offset and 9 inch wide iirc. i don't think the 48 mm will work cause the spacer will just make it worse.

since it's 10 in wide and only 48 mm offset, i doubt that it would fit all the way in the fender well. if it doesn't stick out it would most likely rub the fender a tiny bit.

Dan, are they Twists or 996 Turbo wheels? I believe those are the widebody Turbo/C4 offsets, is so, no they dont fit (well, they dont fit well).

Yes, they will fit fine. My one set of BBS has 17x10 ET47 rears. With a 275/40 tire and a modest amount of -camber they are fine.

An 11" wheel in that offset would not fit on the rear.

They're the BBS LM wheels. Mikes thanks for clarifying that.
