Default Will they fit or is the offset to large

Hi I have a set of turbo twist 8jx18 et 50 for the front and 11jx18 et 45 for the rear. Will they fit my 996.1 c4?

Yes they will but the rears will stick out from the wheel wells. Stock for a C4 rear is ET65. I used a 15mm spacer with mine (making them ET50) and they were flush so a ET45 will stick out 5mm. Front will be fine

@Viper1000 that ET65 (-15mm for spacer) is on a 10" wheel though. The OP is asking about 11" so it'll stick out another half inch (~12-13mm).

Technically it "fits," but it's not going to look right unless you get some serious negative camber and lower it.

I'm running 997 wheels which are 11" wide in the rears with a 295/30/19 & ET 51 and they just barely stick out...maybe 1/4 inch. Haven't touched the camber at all (yet) and it looks and rides fine
