I have 10s on the rear of my early offset 951...forgot wheel offset but tires are 275. Fit fine. However, you sure you want a wheel that big on an n/a? Might really feel slow...

10" is gonna be overkill,
Iv got 9" on my N/A and am looking for something smaller.
Also 255 width fit nicely on a 9" so you probably need a wider tire for a 10"
I also get rubbing on mine on the outer fender, but my tires arent low profile.

10" wheels look sick though.

What wheels?

the wheels are porsche rg5 replica wheels and i know they will probably be heavy but ive accepted the fact that my n/a is not fast haha, at this point i think they would just look good on the car

guys a honest seller asking a fair price good tires hasn't made love to a curb yet, might go have a look this weekend

Yeah they will be good. I have the same mindset with the wheels(for sale) i have for daily use on my car. 16x10 et-2 is the rear fitment. Pretty aggressive. I run smaller wheels on the track.

I have 11s tire size 295 on the rear of my 951 with minimal rub. Required just minor work.
