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.

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
