It could be close to the rear oil line in passenger footwell as they currently are. But if you toss a 5mm spacer in the back you should be all clear. But this also depends on what tire you do with and ride height, but those specs are pretty doable with some attention.

Thank you for your encouragement! Are you using the Singer look a likes?
Oh I'm sorry, I skimmed through and looked the specs in your last post.
10et65 is a bit tougher to fit. Ideally you need to get the ET down to around 45 to be alright. Will probably take a bit of camber and perhaps a slightly smaller tire size, as well as suspension to prevent rubbing.
I'm running around 9et40 in the back and believe its a great fit with -2 degrees of camber.

To add spacers, you'd need longer wheel studs though. Why not just get the correct offset wheels (that don't need spacers) to start with unless you are dead set on these.
ET65 is common on 993 NB rear offset IIRC among others like our watercooled bretheren
The correct 964 offset depends on wheel width but generally speaking you can use this as a guide:
in the front you don't go wider than 8.5 and stick to an et of ~45-52
in the rear you don't go wider than a 10.0 and stick to an et of ~47-50 and easier to go with a 9.5 ~et50-55 if you get a 9 inch you have even more flexibility
don't forget tire size also matters (the 993 NB has a lot more room especially in the rear)
so stick to 225/40 in 18's and 265/35 or even safer (somt at 255/35

If it were only that simple. Some people want to have unique wheels or a different look or save a few thousand dollars by using whats available. Porsche approves and makes spacers up to 17mm I believe for these cars and a lot of people run much bigger spacers. I say if you can make wheels fit, go for it.
