Will these wheels fit?

I found a great deal on some Porsche sport Classic II's


Stock wheels
REAR: 8.5" ET50
FRONT:7" ET55


Porsche Sport Classic II 18"
REAR: 10" ET65
FRONT: 8" ET50

Will the front be ok, and need 35mm spacers in the rear, if I calculated it right.
Are 10" too wide for the rear?


Pic of the type of wheel, not the exact one

For starters, I would bring the rears down to around +45 (+30 is way too aggressive), and the fronts to around +40 .

That's correct . If you wanted a more aggressive look, you could even go +40 on the rear and +35 up front .

Also, any idea on weight?

Craigslist, the guy that sold them was a realtor and found them in a foreclosed condo he purchased.

While you're at it, you should throw in the RUF bumper and side skirts also !

For now I'm just using 20mm in the rears. The fronts are just stock. I'm going to put 15mm in the front to make it more aggressive looking
