Default Rim size question!

So I'm looking at a set of LM's for my C4S! I found a set of 18x8 and 18x9.5" wheels with an et of 50 and 55 respectively. Would these work on my widebody car? Not sure about porsche offsets. What et are the factory 18" twists? Thanks in advance!

Derek

I think you will need spacers... J.B.H has a post on this somewhere

IIRC, the widebody factory twists are 18x8 et52 and 18x10 et40. I'm just going by memory, so please double check.

Derek,

You would be better off finding a set of LM's with a 10/10.5 or 11" rear for your wide body. IMO, the 9.5" rear is way too narrow to run a 285 or 295 tire.

Also, the stagger of the set you are questioning is not the best for accentuating those big hips.
