It all depends on the offsets. The fronts should be fine, you're only about 2mm closer to the fender, with the rears, it depends on what spacers you're getting. 25mm bolt on spacer will get you to stock offset for 10" wheel so should fit fine. 10" rears are fine for 285 or 295 tires.

et 65 with a 20 mm spacer would make it et 45. I believe stock is et40 10" so these would be 5mm inward or further away from the fenders. Not really ideal, you want them slightly closer to the fenders so they look like they fill the arches well... Even if you reverse mount them, they will probably be only about et 50, still not ideal.
Proper spacers should be okay.
I'd take Bernie's offer and go see what he has if you are in Vancouver.

I had a set of these, be aware that the hubs don't have deep pockets on the backsides and can't absorb the lugs from a 15mm or 20mm spacer. I was never able to get a 15mm adapter to work. Only option is to reverse mount which has been mentioned or use a flat 7mm spacer, both of these options created concerns for me personally. I wound up selling the wheels since they were never truly meant to fit on the wb cars. Apparently there are two generations of LMs, the older ones have deep pockets and the newer ones have the shallow pockets. This is why some people are able to fit the 15mm adapters, just make sure to check before you spend the $$

Hello,
I am sorry for the (Probably!) poor English in writting but i'm experiencing some fitment trouble with my LM's on the back of my 964. The wheel is rubbing the oilline and i'm having trouble with spacers (Of 5mm) who are causing bumpy driving. So i'm looking for a way to mount them without spacers!
And now i'm reading about reverse fitment!!
Can someone please explain me what this is about?! Is that putting the centre of the rear wheels on the back of the wheel and not, as is now, on the front?! (If you no what i mean )
Or a picture maybe?!
Thanks in advance!

Reverse mount will reduce your offset by approx 15mm, so it will be even worse for your case.

It is on the insinde where my wheel is rubbing the oil line, thats why i'm using spacers right now.
So when i reverse mount them that will mean that the wheel is coming out more and no more rubbing will be possible. If i'm correct.
So i don't understand your answer.....

LMs are a bit heavy for track use. They are awesome on the street (tough!)
They look amazing, but I don't think they would be the best choice for a heavily tracked car...
Maybe less noticeable on a TT, but on a NB they feel like boat anchors! I am compensating by getting lighter tires...
