996 Twist wheels on 997.1
Hi all, I've searched as much as I can to see if anyone is running this setup on their 997.1 but haven't found anything conclusive.
In short, I really want to run a set of Twist wheels off a 996 on my base RWD 997.1 but I'm not sure if these will fit -- here are the specs:
18x8 et50 PART# 996.362.136.01.
18x11 et45 PART# 996.362.142.01.
I was also looking at another set that came in:
18x8 et50
18x10 et65
Currently running 18 inch Carrera III wheels -- would either of these sets fit on a 2007 Base RWD 911? Would one of these be better than the other? Thanks a ton in advance for the help here, and apologies if this has been posted before.

I think the fronts will work but the rears will protrude 5mm or so. The 45 offset is for a widebody car I believe.

The 11 et45 rears will work on a widebody car and might work on a narrow body car if you cambered the heck out of the rear.

Thanks everyone, guess I might be SOL on the +45 offset. Would love to have those 19in turbos by Augment but that's a bit too pricey at the moment... maybe a gift for myself down the road.
Any thoughts on a 18x10 et65 rear? It's 7mm more inward than stock, so I assume things should be fine? I have a feeling I'm wrong though.
(I know there are beefier setups out there, I just really want to run twists!)
