Question on 18" BBS LM's for NB cars; Do they all have the minimum dish on the rears vs the deeper dish that I've seen on WB cars?

Depends on the rear width of the wheel. I have 10 inch rears that are deeper than the 9.5 wide rears.
If you reverse mount them (do a search for reverse mounting) Then you will have even deeper lips. But then the offset changes
by 14mm I believe

Sorry for a complete noob question, but is this 993 wide body or narrow body?

Narrow, you can tell by looking above the rocker panels.. on a WB the crease does not extend all the way to the rear wheel arch:

^^ That looks amazing, what a huge improvement over the black centers in the earlier photos from post #166.

Thanks
It's vintage gold plasti-dip. I think I'll pull them apart and paint them gold if/when it starts to peel.

Just mounted these.
Bought a set of E88s that has always been my dream wheel. But, ended up trading the E88s that needed rebuilding to fit towards a very nice set of LM.
Love them. Car needs a wash but had to post pics.

Shown on 97' Carrera S.
Not sure of the exact specs, hit up the guys at Rstrada (info@rstrada.com) - they setup that car...

They are 18's, reversed mounted, same offset, tires etc on my TT. I do agree sometimes people think they are 19's from certain angles.
