ABQautoxer, which forums were you talking about - didn't see much discussions here (waiting for a another PM response fr a member)

They're asking for $1359 (+$100 shipping)

The fronts are fine . You could even drop down closer to +40 and still be able to run a 235 tire . But, +35 on the rear is very, very aggressive . I would recommend going +40 on the rear with 275 tires .

I might have to get a set of this now. yeah, I thought +35 on the rear seemed very aggressive as well. I was playing with the wheel offset calculator and was thinking of using the following setup to extend both wheels out 27mm (~1.06") so front and rear will be even (inside wheels will consequently extend +11mm from my stock 17").

Front: 18x8.5 +47, Rear:18x10 +40

So will the above work and does +27mm that extends outer wheel position will look "flush" enough without looking too aggressive (or do I have more room). Is it a good idea to make both front and rear tires extend the same clearance this way.

The front fitment is good . It will definitely give you a "flush" look, as well as provide good clearance all around without being too aggressive . Furthermore, it will leave room for
error if you decide to experiment with different tire applications and/or lowering your vehicle with adjustable coil overs ect.. Ultimately, if you decide that you want a slightly more aggressive look, a small spacer can be added in the future .

Not to hijack but will these fit a '98

Front offset ET48. Size 8x18 inch.
Rear offset ET47. Size 10x18 inch.

Local craiglist ad has a set of 18" wheels from a 2002 Porsche 911 996 Carrera:

Front - 8J X 18 ET52 225/40ZR18 Continental
Rear - 10J X 18 ET65 285/30ZR18 Toyo

The price is good. Will these fit a '00 Base or require spacers.

Thanks in advance!

Depending how "flush" you want them to look, you would have to use at least a 15 to 20 mm spacer. In addition, 285's are a bit wide for my liking; especially given the fact that the fronts are only 225's . In my opinion, that does not strike a good balance between the two .

Need Mr. Danger's Help

Another local craigslist ad -

BBS Wheels
Front Wheels Part No. 993.362.124.51 7J x 17 ET 55
Rear Wheels Part No. 993.362.128.51 9J x 17 ET 55

I know the fronts should be find, but will the rears fit. The fronts come with tires, but the rears don't. If the rears fit, what tire size is the best.

Mahalos!
