HI Again,
Can I still use 45 coming from 50 for both front & rear? Your suggestions are welcome for tire (prefer tallest) size of the BBS LMs. THanks again

Or should I just get 8 x 10 for the rear since narrow body. Hoping for your replies with sample pictures of LMs installed on narrow bodies. Thanks much
Thanks
I'm running 18x8 ET 50 and 18x9.5 ET 55. I'll let the experts chime in, but I believe 11s in the back are likely pushing it. There's a bigger version of my avatar picture a few posts back for reference.

Thanks Phil. I just like a wider lip at the rear to show the staggered or broken size effect of the BBS LMs. I do not know with the others if fender rubbing is an issue if I put the 11s or 10s You think they will stick out of the narrow body fenders? Anyone here in the thread with 993 narrow body who used 10 or 11 BBS LMs. Pics please thanks.

BBS LM 18 x 11 I believe offset is et 56. That will not fit the rears of your NB, read this thread as reference:

There is also a new thread on BBS LMs for 993s, if you wanna see pics of various setups. Pretty sure no NB is running 18 x 11 in any of the pics.

Thanks Knight. But would you know if the BBS LMs 10X18 have wider lip against the front 8X18?

Hey David! I used your rears for the front and found wider outer hoops for the rear in order to nail the look. Front: 18x8.5" Rear: 18x10".

Just coated the brakes yesterday in order to keep with my Cardinal and Gold theme.

May not be the coolest, but probably one of the tightest fits. 3mm either way in the rears & I'm scraping metal..
