Lefteris, I have those exact Keskin wheels on my car, in 8.5x18 & 9.5x18, with the tyre sizes you mention.
I can confirm that the front wheels do stick out a tiny bit from the front fenders. Haven't experienced any rubbing though.
The car is quite prone to following ruts and tracks in the road surface, to the point where you feel you're fighting with the steering over which way to go, when it's worst. No so often it's that bad however. Have only driven my car with these wheels on, so have no idea how much worse it is than with correct offset wheels.
Here's some photos; first two dealer pics from before I got it, that are the best I have to show how far the fronts stick out; next a couple of my own to show you better how they look on the car:
Cheers,
Erling

The car with the original CS wheels 8'' frond and 9'' rear drives perfect!
Thanks for your help!

They will fit but you will change the steering geometry at the front, meaning the car may feel different ie. less stable on uneven road surfaces. Plus they will be heavier, tyres will be more expensive (but you will also have a wider choice) and they will weigh more. Your ride quality will also deteriorate.
I'd stick with what you have.

Besides, it's not as if the original CS wheels don't look great. They do! Plus they are the lightest wheels ever fitted to a 928.

When I change on my 996 the wheels from the original 18'' turbo to original 18'' GT3 II the car was much much better in any way!
Thats because the GT3 wheels was lighten!
The looks is something that we all like to have on our cars, but our cars looks great any way and in most cases we are the only ones that can see the deffernt even if we have spent $$$$$$ on the looks!
Also our cars are made to give us the drivers pleasure that only its original spec can give right and safe!
