Default Rear wheel offset question

Looking at a set of BBS which have rears as 18x11ET50. Offset calculator has these sticking 13mm further out from the hub than standard OEM 18x11ET63.

The standard wheel already has a 7mm spacer so new wheel would be 7mm further out.

Does anyone know if this will cause issues with rubbing?

Car is 996GT3Mk2

Edit to add that one offset calculator has the difference as 27.5mm... ?

I have 18x11 et 56 BBS at the rear. There is not much gap as it is but I think another 6mm would be just about doable.
Amount of camber, ride height and tire width matters of course.. I am running -2.3 degrees camber and 295/30 tire.

Thanks, what BBS are you running with those offsets?

They are BBS LM's. I attached a photo to show how they fit. The edge of the wheel is pretty much inline with the top of the fender opening. It looks like et 50 would be a really tight fit..
