Your wheels look amazing. congrats! I have a set of silver, five double spoke coming too. Not BBS Fi-R but love the look.
Can you confirm that your offset is 19mm R and 18mm F more aggressive than stock?
you splurged on BBS but then need to install spacers to make them fit right? I assume you did not have them custom ordered or BBS does not make them in the offset you like?

Good catch. Fronts are correct @ 21x9 +48 w/ 7mm spacer = +41 effective offset

BBS does not make custom offsets to my knowledge on their monoblock rims. Even 3 piece rims have set fitments for certain cars. I don’t know if BBS even has a specific application for 992 Carreras. Even if they did, I’d need to put spacers on them anyway b.c they are always conservative w/ their fitment. Supreme Power sourced this combo for me that’s closest to the right fitment for a 992. For example the 21” rears are actually made for a Taycan and the 20” fronts are probably for a 991.2 or something.
Honestly, it’s totally fine running w/o the 7mm spacers. It looks good but just not as aggressive as I’d like. If car was stock height it would be pretty flush as the setup is still more aggressive than stock. But for my tastes, lowered needs spacers to have a flush fitment.

This fitment is very similar to the one you had with your stock wheels. Previously you were 18mm in the front and 15” in the rears…very nice.
