After some more quick research, it looks like this combo is nearly ideal for an '87 951
Rear 18x10 ET65 and Front 18x8 ET52 993 hollow spokes with 285/30 and 245/35 tires
However, whether this holds true for an 89 I am not sure. Hoping someone with more knowledge will chime in.

With these 18x10 ET51 wheels I believe the question is which tire will rub, the wheel its self will not. Check this thread, Another fitment question... , post#3 where I have a photo showing an 18x11 ET63 wheel which shares this 10” ET51 outer spacing, +22mm. A 265/35 will most likely work, 275/35 may rub.
I also use a 21mm spacer on my rear 9” Club Sport wheels with 245/45-16s for the track. Again with this size tire there is no tire bulge past the wheels outer face, so no rub.
I’m waiting for Doc to chime in with his rubbing tire size so we all know what not to use.

I've run Enkei 10" with 285s comfortably on the rear. ET 60 on an '89.
If it's a matter that you are concerned with rubbing on the inside a simple spacer would suffice, no?
Having seen Fikse wheels up close, they do look well made. Different model but the standard looks high.

OEM MY02's, 18x8 front, I believe the offset is 50, rears are 18x10 offset 65. I can't remember my front tire size, I want to say it's a 225, rear tire size is a 285.

Thanks Doc! Well that is consistent with what I previously found on the other post and unfortunately kills the deal for me. Guess I need to keep looking for ET65 on the rears. I am getting tired of waiting, custom HRE's are sounding better and better. Although the FM10's from the Fiske site looked nice as well. Would be nice to have something different.
