Alot of guys here run 15mm spacers with stock 10"... the rear 10" in the list is equivalent to the ones running the spacers.

Im still lurking on this mather, one says this someone says this, this realy a circus... =)

But Im gonna buy a set of LM thats for sure =)

Not sure I follow NOBY. This is very simple, the LM only comes in a couple size that will fit your car properly. Stop making this so difficult on yourself.

Front:
8" et50
9" et50

Rear:
10" et65
10" et50

ps. if it was me I would do the bolded ones in this post

Yep, the 10" et 50 rear would be perfect (for a 10").

I understand your confusion because I went through this recently. While I’m no authority on this matter, I'll try to explain.
Porsche recommends an 11’ wheel with a safe 63 et offset for your car. If using a smaller offset, the tire could extend beyond the fender, rub somewhere inside the wheel well, or make contact when you hit a bump. Tire size, suspension set up & rolled fenders are probably the main factors how far beyond a 63 mm offset you can go.
The 11' wheel with the 57 et offset will definitely "fit" on your car (especially with your fenders rolled) but "fit" can be subjective. Put the same 11’ wheel on 100 different C2’s, some owners will say they “fit” and others will say they don’t.
Since you’re also getting a new suspension the car can could be set up to accomodate the wheels you want but you may lose some flexibility in choosing tire size, suspension settings and handling characteristics.
I took a risk and bought an 11’ wheel with et 52, but I also had to use a 285 tire and have my suspension adjusted . I probably wouldn't go below ~ 60 on an 11' wheel if/when I get different wheels.
I think they the wheels you're considering would look great, but purchasing an expensive 11' BBS wheels with an offset <63, shipping them to Sweden for use on a car being set up for the track is taking a risk . Buying an 11’ wheel with an offset >63 is zero risk.
Like slick willie once said – “it depends on what your definition of what the word “is”…. is…..depends on what your definition of the word “fit” is.

This car is not going to be a track car, its gonna be a street car, but it may see the track sometimes.

So if I go ET50 on both and rear, wont that be to agressive low, that the wheel will hide to much?

Right now it looks like this and I think its perfect it lines up with the fenders and body awsome, and I want to keep it like this, dont want the wheel hidden more in.

NOBY...looking at the pic in your link the rear sits OUTSIDE the rear fender. If you want to know what it will look like on your car in the 9"et50 for front and 10" et50 for the rear then look at a GT3 (or NB car) with GT3 wheels and you will need to visualize the front 4mm pushed in and the rear will be identical. IMHO, that is perfect for you!

Like this? I think this is to much pulled in, I rather have like my have on the picture I showed.

That's NOT pulled in, that is camber you are looking at and ALOT of it.

I can't believe this is now at almost 60 posts and you still don't trust us.

NOBY

Is this orginal wheels? I think the front looks perfect but the rear looks a bit to much pulled in, is this what you mean?

NOBY

This is the look I want!

LVDell

Well, you can get that look if you go with the one's I bolded post #51. After that, then you could add the OEM 5mm spacers if you wanted to get a little more aggressive if not satisfied at that point.

NOBY

Where do I get 5mm spacers with longer bolts or do I need longer bolts for 5mm spacers, I think 5mm spacers is were the limit goes for longer bolts?

NOBY

But ET50 + 5mm spacers will it not be almost the same as 11" with the ET56? hmm, just dont kill me for this post =)

LVDell

I was referring to the front for the spacers. The 5mm spacers and longer bolts are OEM, they can be ordered through the dealer.
