Hi
I picked up a set of BBS E88s for my 997.1 GT3 and I was curious about fitment. I have been doing a lot of research but I cant come to a definitive answer. These will just be my street wheels as I generally use the OEM wheels for track days. Ultimately I would like to know if there is some way i can make these work as they are and what tire size would be recommended to make them work. My tire considerations are F:235/40R18 R:305/35R18 , however i am open to 295/35R18 as well if it would allow me to run this set without purchasing smaller rear lips
All BBS E88 Face #0288170
Wheel sizes
F: 18x9 (8 inch inner barrel 1 inch lip)
R: 18x12 (9.5 inch inner barrel 2.5 inch lip)
Also, if a smaller rear lip is 100% required, does anyone have any 18x2 24 hole lips available?
Thanks in advance!

18x9 (8 inch inner barrel 1 inch lip) ET43.5
18x12 (9.5 inch inner barrel 2.5 inch lip) ET43.5
In there rear if you swap to a 10" inner and a 2" outer you get it to ET56.2 which will get you in range to run these on a 997 NB car
