Does anyone know what size barrels (inners/outers) would be a proper fit on a NB C2 964? Currently looking at a set that are 8.5 fronts with 1" and 7.5" barrels and 10 rears with 1.5" and 8.5" barrels. Also, what is the correct measurement for back spacing. Thanks for any help.

Got your PM. I'll answer here so the info is useful to those who find this thread also.
I'm hitting the pillow now (gmt), so will get back to you shortly with reference to my barrels also.

Rey,
Offset calculation is pretty simple, and if you want me to explain the math, I certainly can. Assuming the BBS wheels you're looking at have a back pad height of 1" similar to mine, I can come up with a backspace figure to calculate your offsets.
The wheels you're looking at would look something like this:
Front: 18x8.5 ET +45
Rear: 18x10 ET +51
This is just an estimate, but in order to get an accurate offset for those wheels, he needs to measure the actual backspace for you. But, looking at what I'm estimating, those should fit a narrow body pretty well. I'm actually running a very similar size up front on my narrow body 964- 1.25" outer, 7.5" inner barrel and I'm at roughly ET +40 running zero camber and the car is lowered a moderate amount.
*edit* I just saw your last question regarding how to measure backspace. It's simple: Put a flat surface across the back of the wheel, and with a ruler you measure from the mounting surface(back pad) to the flat plane you put across the back of the wheel. For example, my 8.75" wide wheel has a backspace of 6.5".
Random picture I found to demonstrate.

Front: 17x8.75 ET +40(6.5" backspace), -1.7 camber
Rear: 17x10.5 ET +32(7" backspace), -3.5 camber
I would consider this moderately aggressive as far as setups go.
