BBS E88 Fitment Question

BBS E88 Fitment Question
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!

stock offset on the front is 47 and rear is 48
I am also in the market for e88 in 19". BBS said they used to do 43 in the front but now does 48 in the front for CL.
I also wanna know what is the most aggressive set up that I can get.

The 18 or 19 x 12 with a 64 offset that is supposed to be used with the spacer removed will still fit with no rubbing with the spacer intact, making effective offset 12 +59.

Yeah. I run same more aggressive figment with OEM spacer.

What size wheel bolts can i use to make the 0288170 face work? The OEM ones are too short and I might have read that a 53MM shank length would work, but i cant find that reference again. I would like to use bolts if possible.
Thanks!

I have a set of new 18" e88s for .1 wide body car. Rear is same offset as stock so needs a spacer. Wheels are black with polished rim. They clear PCCB calipers. Also have some long bolts for sale as well. These wheels had one set of tires mounted, less than 200 miles on them. As they are new I am not giving them away. Serious inquiries only.
