Default BBS RS II Wheels question

gents,

has anyone tried these on their NB 993?

am looking to purchase the above and was not sure if these would fit on my '97 Targa:

Fronts: 8.5 x 18, 45mm offset, with Bridgestone S-03, 225/40-18 so these look ok....but rears...

Rears: 10 x 18, 50mm offset, with Bridgestone S-03, 285/30-18

thanks for your help as always...

I would do a search for "NB fitment" or "NB wheel fitment" but, my first guess is you're going to have trouble fitting the rears with that 285 tire. Even with a smaller tire, you may need negative camber and/or rolling your fenders. Good luck!

Lucky- 10 inch with et 50 is really low for a NB. I've had 18x10 et 58 with 265 tires with no issues. As mentioned above, you may have to roll yer fenders to stuff 285s on the Targa.
