Default 944 Wheel Fitment 17x7.5 and 17x10

Here are the specs on the wheels:

17x7.5 ET 25
17x10 ET 48

These are early offset 3 piece wheels. My main question is how that rear is going to fit.

I am planning on running 205/45/17 and 255/40/17 on them if I end up purchasing them. (There may be a little stretch in the rear)

Right now on stock suspension, will be lowered on Ground Controls in the front and I will be lowering the torsion bar without having to reindex it in the rear.

Thanks a lot!

I think those are late offset wheels judging by the offsets, might be wrong though.

The front wheels are early offset for sure

That's what I thought, early offset, but I'm thinking because they are so wide they are still early offset in the rears, not positive though.

Front will fit fine, maybe a tiny spacer. Rear will also fit, most late offset wheels will fit early offset with a spacer. I have seen a 18x10 et40 on the rear of an early offset car with 285x30 tires and no spacers.
