Default alloys offset advice plz

Need help buying alloys off evil bay
Want to replace D90 standards with BBS don't understand sizes
My question Is will I need spacers ?

Not sure if these measurements for D90 are correct as I copied & pasted them from another article
D90 16" front 7J ET 55
Rear 9J ET 70
BBS 16" front 7J ET 23
Rear 8J ET 11

Any input will be most helpful Thanks

Oops made a mistake with measurements D90's are
2 x front alloys 6J x 16 ET52
2 x rear alloys 8J x 16 ET52

And the BBS are the same the seller said they came off early 911

Okay I must sound stupid lol but the seller now is saying they came off porsche 944. I assumed 944 and 964 wheels where the same ?

The early 944's have the same offset you listed above for the BBS wheels which also work on 911's thru 89. If the BBS wheels are ET 11 & 23, they would have been on an early 944 and will not work on your 964.

The late 944's used the same as a 964--ET 52, & ET 55.

Wink

looking further into this.
I know they will fit but will protrude out by 3 cm at the front and 4 cm at the rear also I could use stretched tyres lol but have a ricer look.

not sure about stretched tyres never heard of them before until I googled images
