I have the Speedline 3.6 wheels on my car, with stock suspension. They fit, but there is a little bit of rub with aggressive driving.

Sizes: front 8x18, ET 52
Rear 8x10, ET 61 w/ 5 mm spacers.

So if your wheels have 50 mm ET front and rear, they should fit with no spacers.

Thanks

what wheel spec did you use?

They should fit no problems.
I have various wheels with differing offsets, no spacers used and no arch rubbing, just a little kiss on the tub when parking on full steering lock.
Currently running Work Brombacher with the following spec.
Front 8.5x18 et 54
Rear 10x18 et 47

Tyre sizes or if you're in the US, Tire sizes, to use are;
Front 225x40x18
Rear 265x35x18
Some people opt for 215 front and 255 rears...

Fitment and rubbing all depends on your geometry, Camber, Caster, Toe etc..
With aggressive camber wider wheels can be made to fit without rubbing.
My geo is set at 964 RS specs.

I think I have the same above tire sizes: 225/40 and 265/35. Those were the stock 3.6 turbo sizes.

I am running Falken Azeni RT-615K+ on my wheels. They work well for canyon carving.

Im in the process of purchasing wheels for my Carrera 2 cab as well. I saw some replica speedline type wheels on ebay that looked nice but not so sure on the quality and weight.

Well, the real Speedlines are heavy. Like 24-28 pounds per wheel IIRC. They are cast aluminum centers. The RH replicas are also cast aluminum. You're not running Speedlines for track levels of performance so much as aesthetics.
