Here is a good pic to close out the solution on this thread. I am now completely confident I did not screw up on these wheels. Thank you all for the help and advice. I think the final product speaks for itself. Wow, what a transformation.

How do you get your arms and head out that sunroof to scream "Hellz Yazz!!"




Looks great!

Well, they "fit" on the car.

You've got your fat rear tires at the expense of non-optimal offset at the front which compromises the negative scrub radius Porsche designed into the front suspension. You better enjoy tramlining, 'cause that's what you're going to experience with ET 50s on the front.

So, having really bad front offset doesn't make any difference?

Yes, it does make a difference and yes there is a slight bit of tramlining, no it does not bother me. Although reversing when parking its can be a bit of a bear.

I'm running 255 35 and 295 30 currently and have 245 35 I'll be changing to soon.

And yeah, I can feel the cornering capability has increased as I can carry more speed into corners.
