Wheel Fitment question
 
Bought a 2nd wheel set of 4, 18" 10" ET 58 for rear and 18" 8 1/2" ET 52 for front. Was told they came off a 2000 986. Best I can figure is I will need a .25" set of spacers for the rear. Anyone with any experience this size wheels?

This is the best spacer calculator I have come across.

with a 10" rear, 40 to 45 is a nice place to be, so think about a spacer around 15mm. 10mm would probably be ok. a lot depends on what tire you are running. also, your lug bolts long enough?

For the 18" at 10" width - I would first ask what tire you are getting and if you modified suspension.

It is not an easy answer as it may run inside or outside... or both. :(

Mine had 275 in the back and it would rub on the fender with 20 mm spacer, but only under heavy bump, normal driving was OK. Yet, I got rid of them (it was the previous owner who put them on).

Front was 235 and was OK.
