Default Advise on most aggressive wheel fitment for 993 NB

Any advise on wheel fitment?

Work Brombacher offer 2 fitment. however i think the suggest C2 fitment is too conservative. The Turbo fitment might be too aggressive.

C2
18 x 8.5 ET54
18 x 10.0 ET60

Turbo
18 x 8.5 ET54
18 x 10.5 ET41

I will be lower it with coilover & want to flush it without rubbing.
Thx

I had 10" rears with 265 ET 58 with no issue on my NB. Another 5mm would still clear. I'm at RS +10

turbo rears won't work on n/b unless they had spacers on the turbo

the 8.5ET54 fronts fit fine
the 10ET60 rear stick out ~5mm further than oe, and should fit ok at most any ride height, I see trouble w/265/35 x18 on 10ET56 at full compression when at RoW M030 height

No problem at all! That's 2mm more tucked in than my ET 58.

If you're going for the ragged edge on wheel offset, you'll also need to consider which tire you plan to go with as actual tire widths vary quite a bit from one model/brand to the next for a given size.
