Definitely not on the fronts, that offset is waaay to low. I'd personally never go below a et50...Most say not to go below et55

If your gonna go 11'' wide on the rear be prepared to roll the fender lip a bit.

I personally do run 11'' rears and have had 295-30/18's on the car but I now run a 285 series tire and find it to be a better fit. My fenders are rolled slightly.

My self and a few others use Panamera rims. They are cheap, plentiful, and are high quality OEM.

The fronts are et59 as well, much closer to stock.
