Default 17*11 offset needed

Track only 944, 87 control arms, lindsey big brake upgrade, broadfoot widebody. Once these new parts are on my 17*9 wheels can be upgraded.
I dont know what offset will work, more concerned with inner clearance as opposed to outer as the widebody should give me lots of space. I have lots of spacers for the rear available. Will run a square setup so I can rotate tires.
What offset will work in the front?

I have an 86 951 with 87 control arms running 9.5" wide ET 56 with 285-645-18 tires. The tires will rub the fenders when wheels are turned all the way. It's seldom necessary to turn the wheels that far.

Thanks for that reply.

I was given exact width and offset for a different car that was ideal for scrub radius, Im hoping someone knows that for a 944 87 turbo setup basically. If someone knows the ideal scrub radius ( width and offset ), I can probably use that info to relate to a 11 wide wheel.
