Lowest offset for aftermarket wheel?
Hi all,
What are the lowest wheel offsets possible for a 993 that is lowered approximately RS height without any major, and if possible, fender rolling modifications?
I am more concerned with the front offset than the rear (though any rear wideboy info supplied is appreciated, too!).
Currently I am looking at the following:
18 x 8.5" +49mm (may need add'l 3mm spacer to clear Big Reds for front, so net +46mm?)
18 x 11" +43mm
I've been trying to avoid the slippery slope, but looks like I may be taking a further plunge. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

For the rears the configuration your list is for a wide-body/Turbo. I have 11"ET52 but those require rolling. For an 11" wheel I think ET60 is probably the most aggressive you can go without rolling the fenders if you are planning to run a 285 tire (depending on tire brand of course). If you use a 10" wheel and 265 tire you might be able to use an ET in the mid-50s.

Thanks for the info, all.
I forgot to mention this is going on a 993 C4S as well, and based on the info, appears that the fronts and rears will work.
