Default Anyone running a 50ET on the rear?

Just wondering if anyone is running a 10" 50ET on their NB 993? If so, what size tires are you running? Any fitment problems?

Thanks for your help.

My 10" Rears with an ET59 offset running a standard 265/35/18 Bridgestone Tyre (Tire) required a slight arch roll to clear at RS ride height.

I'd imagine ET50 with a good tight arch roll on a standard size tyre (tire) should be achievable.

I have run 10 et50, it is a tough fitment without alot of camber. I have run 265/35r18 Dunlop direzza, which run on the wide side and had to roll the fenders a little before i started to run alot more camber. I had at one stage put a set of 275/35r18 NT01's on them, they didn't rub.

From a ride height perspective I am well below RS height, and was with those fitments.

Once again, thanks for the reply. Like to hear from anyone else who is running or ran a ET50?

My old set of BBS RS-GT wheels were ET48 with a 9.5 inch width (265/35/18 PS2 tire). It was rubbing. Sold those and I ended up with a set of BBS LM wheels ET65 with a 10 inch width. Your car looks to have a similar ride height to my car. RS +10mm. I would bet your going to have issues.
