I'd like to fit a set of wheels to my NB 993, ideally BBS LM (I'd also look at something similar), but with a deeper lip to the rear wheels.
Reason being is that I'm not really keen on the look of LMs fitted to a NB 993, when the dish is the same depth front to rear, plus I don't want to roll the rear arches.
If I back mount centres on the rear wheels and front mount the centres on the front wheels, how much deeper will the lip be on the rear wheels versus the front wheels?
Does anyone have any side profile pictures that would show this please?
Is there a specialist who can build me a set of wheels that will achieve this look, a la WB 993 on LMs?
Or does anyone have a set of something approaching this look for sale?

If you reverse-mount the rear faces, the lip will have an extra 10-12mm, but you must remember that this effects your offset and pushes the wheel outwards by the same amount. If you do so, choose your tires and alignment settings accordingly. However, I've owned multiple sets of BBS LMs and if the face is any color other than silver and the barrel/lip is any other finish than the factory brushed, it will look weird. From a side view perspective, if the faces are colored, there will be an obvious difference from front to rear.

The replicas I've found are only 9.5's in rear but they are only 46et... could look decent? I've yet to see em in person on a 993.
