I looking to get some BBS LMs for the 993.

Should I go for the 9.5 or 10's in the Rear?

If it's a narrow body, go 10 in the rear. Wait.... that sounds bad.

LoL

The wheel shop tried to tell me that I would get more lip if I went with the 9.5's, but I think that was because they are on back order (the rears in 10).

Go to a different wheel shop.

I run factory 996 GT2 11s in the rear with 295s on my S and think it's great...not sure I'd want to go any wider due to the change in overall diameter...

I'd stay 10's with a 275 so you won't get yourself into trouble. Wider fits but could rub. If you are lowered ar plan to that's a consideration as well.

I carry LM's, please give me a call if I can help.

I own a NB and have the 10" LM's on the rear I have a hard time believing 11" with 295's would not rub.
