Thats such a great lump of a wheel imo..

according to the wheel offset calculator online the rears will be 34mm less...so right up against the strut and extend 4mm compared to my originals 8.5J 50ET

That just dont sound right//or look right.! Is there something happening with Negative or Positive Offset maybe/// ?? I cant work it out

These are Def BBS Porsche wheels...will have another trial tomorrow and see if i can get my head around it...

If the specs of those wheels are indeed 18 x 10 +65 et, then by lowering the offset to around + 45 to +40, you should have plenty of inner and outer clearance. Are you certain that those are the specs ? If, so, there shouldn't be any problem with regard to fitment. Just to put things into perspective, my rear fitment is 19x10 +31 et, with a 275/30/19 tire. Despite having a very aggressive set-up, I have no clearance issues whatsoever. And, I run adjustable coilovers, wherein clearing the lock ring on the perch is a major concern. Having said that, you shouldn't be experiencing the problems that you are.
