Default Would this offset work for a 993 4S

Appreciate it if any offset experts would chime in and let me know if this wheel will work for a 4S?

18x 9 et: 46.5
18x 11 et: 59

Thanks in advanced.

I think they should, but double check the front! For your reference, here is my C4S with 18x8.5 et46 front and 18x11 et40 rear.

Front offset is weird but will work. Rear offset is way too high. For 11” rears, you’re better with ET 40-45 range.

Thanks for the info. I’ve been actively looking for a set of rims for my car. Prefer used since I like to switch them out.

i was thinking a 9" at et46.5 might be a bit tight (rather flush). tire size/shoulder could cause some mild rubbing - maybe just the fender liner. i think that one could be close.
the rears will need a 15mm spacer, but at least that's a common size. sounds like a NB fitment.
