Default BBS RC wheels fitment question

Would the BBS RS three peice wheels with specs 16x7 ET 23 and 16x8 ET 11 accomodate the 86 turbo brakes?

Yes they will, I can confirm that because I have BBS RS wheels (16x8 ET62, 16x9 ET36) on my 931 race car that has turbo brakes and they sit nicely.

Just tried them on....do not fit Now I gotta see what spacers I need and what length studs....darn it!

Worse come the worst I can run my stock 15x7 ET 23 phonedials on the track which actually clear the turbo brakes!

I measured it an it seems that 8mm spacers will do the work.

According to the info I have sitting here on my computer my rs's are 16x7 et24 and 16x8 et11 and the wheels have no clearance issues on my 86 951. It is tight, but they work.
