yes, but dont presume because a shop does it that its right either.
soemtimes they do stuff because its easy.

That is very true.. I agree w/ you 100% there..

But from what I can see.. they use the point where the cases join together. It looks to be a pretty strong point.

here is the offset
9x18 ET43mm
12x18 ET48mm

my "guess" is that they will fit. but i can't guarantee it and i dont want ppl to get upset at me if the rubber touched fender lip.

just like 996gt3, if you run 12, your fender lip is rubbed. you ca'nt see it usually. but take wheel off, get your head inside the fender then look OUT toward the lip, you will see rub mark. most ppl dont detail that part of their cars. so they tell you they dont rub.. but 12" rear will rub 996 unless you roll fenders.
Thanks a lot, that's what I was thinking.
Very considerate!
Best regards, w
