Default 996 LW Classic III 18": part# and ET?

Anyone knows the part numbers and ET's for the 996 Light weight Classic III wheels mentioned in this post: https://rennlist.com/forums/8013493-post101.html

Will they clear 997S 330 mm brakes?

Thank you.

You might want to post this int he 996 forum instead of the 997 forum. 996 and 997 cars have different offsets.

There are two different variations of this rim.

The MY02 Carrera Classic 5 spoke (shown first) appeared on the 996. Part #s 996.362.136.03 and 996.362.140.03. ET50 in front, ET65 in rear. 8x18 and 10x18 respectively.

Porsche updated the rim for the 997--Carrera III Lightweight. (2nd pic) Part #s 997.362.136.00 and 997.362.140.01. ET50 in front, ET58 in rear.

Given the difference in offset for the rears I suspect the MY02s may not clear Big Reds. A small spacer may be required.

Thanks for the details!

A friend was about to buy a set for his 997 as a second set up for track days and club events. The ET of the rears will require a spacer though. Then there is the question if 10" is ok with 295/35?
