I encourage you guys to have BBS Motorsport build you the exact spec wheel you need, if its BBS you want to run. If you think HRE is on same par as BBS, this isnt the wheel for you.

...a few points to straighten things out in here (thank you to the RLers that brought this thread to our attention):
1. We do have wheels that are priced competitively to what's on the market.
2. Our wheels are involved in motorsports.
3. We respect BBS and consider them one of the best wheel manufacturers in the world.
4. The rear of the GT4 and its suspension components are certainly unique (very aggressive) so we recommend researching fitments carefully.

Would be best if you posted the offset on these wheels.
I don't think I would put a 295 on the rear 12" wheel and then track it. So now you are looking at a 305 minimum. And all of that is contingent on track tires being available in the necessary sizes.
Not only that, but under what conditions will this test fit occur? What if you increase camber in the rear for tracking purposes?
Well, if the car you are putting them on is approx 2 x $ of a base GT4 ..........

Adding 10mm side may be possible, it is on the 997 GT3 even narrow bodies...
I haven't personally put 18" on, but heard from another rennlister that E88 and CCW 18" were a no go...

FWIW I think all GT4 owners need to be supportive of anyone trying to make things work for the car. The uniqueness and complexity around our setup has already proven that we will need special solutions from the aftermarket and that we can't just go to supplies that are currently on offer. That means r&d and $ for the manufacturers. Which means we better be ready to pay if we want things to fit like oem and not have to make comprises. So good on you BBS and HRE and anyone else planning to help this community out.
As a feeler, you may touch me. But that's it...for now. Show me what you got and we will see where it goes.

I don't think the price is too expensive for, literally, some of the best wheels in the world; but obviously fitment is an issue. They're comparable with HRE in pricing. HRE wheels are very nicely finished as well, but there's only one or two wheel manufacturers that have been very heavily involved in motorsport for decades; BBS, OZ and a few others.....
