Default Offset wheel question on NB 997.1

What's the maximum offset for front and rear wheels without rubbing the fenders?

My lobster wheels are 57 front and 67 rear. I'm thinking of purchasing used wheels with offset 54 front and 51 rear (which is equal to 16mm spacers) from 997.1 TT?

I now have 15 mm spacers which I think is perfect but not sure if 1mm more will stick out too much. Yes, I will dismount the spacers. LOL

Thanks

What size of wheels and tires? I'm running the following with no issue and looks perfect fit:

- F: 19x8.5J ET45 with tire 235/35 R19
- R: 19x11J ET55 with tire 305/30 R19

No spacer. Also the tires are MPSS, which actually has significantly wider side walls, the affect is almost like having a 5mm spacer, and there's still no rubbing.

However, my car is still with stock suspension. I think rubbing will become an issue if the car is lowered.

My buddy is running much lower offsets so you will be fine. Also 1mm is the thickness of your finger nail it wont make that big of a difference.

20x11 et40

Perfect tires for the WB offsets. I do the same with my car. Looks great and no issues.
