Front : 18 x 8.5 offset 48 Tires 225/40
Rear : 18 x 10.5 offset 60 Tires 265/35

or what are your suggestion?

I believe the recommended wheel sizes for NB are:
8x18 ET 52
10x18 ET 65

The 225/40/ZR18 and 265/35/ZR18 are the recommended tire sizes.

The Carrera II wheels that lots of people run are
8x18 ET50
10x18 ET 65

No doubt someone who has already tried this will soon chime in on whether the 8.5 inch front would make any difference..

Those will fit just fine, aggressive but work.

I run 8.5 et 50 with 235 40r18 front and 10.5 et 59 with 265 35r18 or 285 30r18

Opo

Yes they will work 👍🏼

hypeber

can I see pics go your car , and what tires you using? Any rub?

Bill Verburg

As Trophy says, aggressive. Ride heigh and suspension will affect fitment. but your probably ok unless the car is very low

hypeber

I am actually getting pss10 and will try to use the RS+10.

So are all 8.5 10.5 aggressive due to the width of the wheels?


or should i go with this here

8 x 18 et 47
10 x 18 et 52

or

18 x 8.5 et52
18x10 et 58

Here are some pics...

My car is low (Not Bill V Low , but Low)

I have the fenders rolled on my car and run very aggressive camber settings. I only need the fender rolled for the Big 295 tires. I have quite alot of space with the 265 on board.

Also the 265 will have a bit of stretch on a 10.5 tire.




This is with 235/265 Falkens on it, No static Pics. - No rubbing - Ride Height ~RS -15



This is with 235/265 Dunlop Direzza (wide fitment tire - No Rubbing Ride Height ~ RS -10



This is with 245/35 and 295/30 Rolled Fenders - No Rubbing - ~ RS -10

the widths are fine it's the ET that you have spec'ed.
8.5ET54 w/ 235/40 or 245/35 x18 will fit at any ride height. As the ET is decreased from 54 the wheel sticks further outboard mm for mm. ET47 sticks out enough to be a concern at lower heights

Similarly in back 10ET65 fits at any height w/ 265/35 or 285/30 x18, 10ET52 sticks out 13mm more. At low enough ride heights the lips will need to be massaged if a 265/35 is used and need even more work w/ a 285/30.

Remember these fitments can be a success or not because of a few mm.

I'd be more comfortable w/
18 x 8.5 et52
18x10 et 58
I use,
8.5ET54 235/40
10ET65 275/35
x18

If Stephen's(Trophy) fit then yours will too, He has the most aggressive fitment I've ever seen.

AX993

I'm running tire sizes similar to Steven's. For autocross, Hoosier A7 front 245/35, rear 295/30 on Volk TE37, F 18x8.5, R 18x11. Car is pretty low with lots of negative camber. I don't know off-sets on these wheels as I got them used, but I'm using 6mm spacers on the front. My 993's fenders are rolled. The only rubbing is on the inside of the front wheel-wells from near full-lock-parking-lot type turns.

Update: A recent ad for new Volk TE37RL 18x8.5 and 18x11 shows offsets of 48 front and 55 rear for a narrow body 996 (my wheels came from a 996 GT3 owner). Although my TE37's are a much earlier version, this sounds about right for my wheels. Would have been nice if Volks had offsets stated on the wheels.
