This isn't too different in set up than my current 8/10 wide Fikse FM-10 in 51/57 offset with the same sized Rosso N4s? The wheels/tires will move 0.4 inches outboard in front, and 0.3 inches outboard in back? http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

are your fenders rolled? if not, do you plan on having them rolled?
what suspension are you on?

Interesting, I've seen many people do this (none come reverse mounted from the factory do they)?
Also I wonder what BBS Japan's take is...
Some fitments avail via BBS Japan isn't available via BBS USA FWIW.

Step 1, obtain 60-65et 11" wheels.
Step 2, put narrow treadwidth 285/30 or 275/35 tires on them.
Step 3, dial camber in rear to at least neg 2.5 degrees.
Step 3.5, If required, roll fender lip upwards into fender with heatgun and that fender roller with the ECS adapter mentioned below.
Step 4, enjoy 11" wheels on NB 993.
