17x9.5 wheels with +12 offset.
will these work on an 86 951? I searched but I couldn't find what the stock 86 offset was. Any help would be great.

stock offset is 23mm but the rears could use to be down to 10 or so. Im running 23mm offset rear 16x8's and i leave my 15mm spacer on there that kicks them out to match the quarter better. That makes the offset effectively 23 minus 15 =8mm rear offset. Fronts are alittle trickier though as 16x8 23mm offset wheels fill them nicely.

I have a feeling youre trying to put ROH wheels on right? I tried a set of 17x9 ROH wheels with a 12MM off set and they stuck out to the point where they destroyed a tire. That wheel will stick out 30mm's further then the stock wheel.

I think that's about what my rears are. The are 17x9.5 forgelines made for widebody 86 911. IIRC, Forgeline told me they are around ET13. The tires will probably just barely rub the fenders unless you roll the lip a little bit.
