Default BBS LM offset

Will 18x8.5 ET56 and 18x10 ET50 fit on an NB 993?

The front will fit but the offset is not ideal. It's a bit too tucked in IMO. Nothing spacers can't fix. The 10" wide rear ideally should be around ET 60-65. I've had 10" ET 58 on a NB with no issues. You can make ET 50 work but may need to roll fender lips and a little more negative camber.

Fronts are fine, 8.5 needs more o/s than an 8

rears are very aggressive, fit will depend on ride height, the specific tire and suspension setup.

The preferred specs for 993 n/b are 8.5ET52 to 56 & 10 ET60 to 65

for a really low car 8.5 ET54 to 56 & 10 ET65

Thanks for the replys.
Looks like BBS only deliver the LM for the 996, hence the ET56 front and ET50 in the back. So it looks like I will have to go hunting for used wheels

996 and 993s share the same wheel offsets; NB and WB respectively. 996 WBs can take another inch wider rims in the back but offset is still the same.

This diagram shows the fitment envelop for 993 n/b, and how some examples fit in that envelope

Yes, turns out that the US web page have different ET's than the Euro web page. So it looks like it might work out after all.

The LM are actually made in Japan so the US BBS site and the Japanese BBS site would show all the offerings:

I ordered my LMs from Supreme Power. It was a long wait, and certainly not Supreme's fault, but the wheels were worth it to me. I just love the look of the LMs on my car, even more so than my old Fikse FM-10s.
