Default New wheel issues

Hi bmwpimp, I'm a new porsche 993 owner with very limited knowledge. Within the next couple wks i plan on lowering my 993 (nb)and exchanging its wheels. Ive begun the process of ordering everything without knowing the correct specs on both items. Big mistake on my part because i find myself wishing i hadn't purchase the wheels without learning more about my car. First mistake is i ordered wheels with the assumption I owned a wide body when in fact its a narrow one. Previous owner listed it a turbo body style porsche, so when i purchased my Rotiform Fuch wheels it was for a WB and not a NB one. Wheels are 18x8.5+40 and 18x11+48 so now have my rear wheels sticking out of the wheel wells almost an inch on each side. Tires are Pirelli P Zero 245/35r18 and 295/30r18 Townfair has aggreed to exchange them once I figure out the correct sizes upon lowering the car. Now the shocks and struts i brought are Bilstein HD adjustable shocks with H&R lowering springs. Can anyone help me with my wheel well crisis, I don't know what my options are. "Any advice!!" Thanks
