Default wheel offset 18 in track wheels for a 968

On my 968 E stock I am currently running 245x35 fronts and 285x30 rear tires on 18 in Cup 2 replicas with front offset 52 and rear 47.
I am looking at some Porsche BBS 5 spoke 997 wheels that are 8 in front and 10 in rear with offset of 57 front and 58 rear.
Do you think I will have any clearance problems with the 997 wheels with the increased 5 mm offset in front and 11 mm in back?
thanks
Dave

I doubt you will have a problem, but the good news is that you can always decrease the offset with a spacer. Better to have too much offset than too little, the negative spacers are very rare
The stock M030 wheels were 7.5" fronts with 65 offset and 9" rears with 55 offset in 17's.

Before you invest in 8's and 10's read posts about guys running square setups in those cars using spacers in the front. 285's all around on 10's.

Except for E stock class I need to saty at 1 in greater width than stock, so 8.5 in front and 10 in rear
