Default Another wheel offset question - have searched but I'm confused

I'm looking for 18" wheels for my '02 Targa (factory 17" 10-spoke currently). I found the wheels below but can't figure out what the fitment effect will be. They aren't 100% the same as factory 18s.

Can someone advise? thanks

4 - 18" RH AG Cup Wheels 2 x 18x8.5 front(offset ET45) and 225/40ZR 18 tires and 2 x 18x10 rear (offset ET 54) and 265/35ZR 18 tires

The fronts will be just fine and the rears will be very close. Just depends on how far out you want the wheel to stick out. What is the current width and offset of your wheels in rear? To help put it in perspective, the factory 10" rear has an offset of 65 so imagine an 11mm spacer to push the wheel out to an offset of 54.

Thanks Dell,

I realize they weren't really made for the 996. I thought there might be a bargain opportunity. If I could get the Wheel Enhancement people to every respond to me I might be able to do what I really want - get a set of factory 18s.......

Cheers

Make sure they are also the right bolt pattern
