Default BBS LMs fitment question

I just received my bbs lm that I ordered. Fitted on my narrow body 997. Looking to make the wheels a bit more flush.

19x8.5 (et50)
19x11 (Et63)

Would 19x12 (et44) fit in the rear on nb 997 or are spacers my only option?? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I have the BBS LM-Rs which are the same wheels with slightly different center. They have the same offsets and on my narrow body. Ended up going with 12mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the rear. You can get similar designs from other wheel manufactures in the offsets you desire but not true BBS LM(r)s

This is with H&R springs.

7mm spacers all around - it looks like youre quite lowered and that's what's making them look a bit sunk in.

Camber from lowering definitely making it much less aggressive

He is local so we hope to try a few combinations and get them flush. We have 7 and 14mm and 18mm so should be able to make it nice and perform an alignment too

Thank you all for your feedback. Just curious does the wb offset (et44) fit in the rear with my current setup?

Thank you. Almost bought those wheels from you but bbs didn’t have the same offset in silver at that time. Made an appointment to come by. Thanks again for all your help.

If you roll your fenders and add a slight bit of camber, it would likely work but might rub the bumper bracket on big dips. Safer to just use spaces to push the current ones out.
