I ran the 18x10 ET40 version, and while they fit, this is as wide as you can go. I am now running BBS RSII 18x10 ET45, and this is a perfect fit.

Thanks. Didn't think so neither. What size tyres are you running on those 18x10s?

I have a set of wheels (986 or 996 Twists...not sure):

17 x 7, 52mm offset (front) and
17 x 9, 55mm offset (rear)

with Toyo 888's. I used these on my 968. Will these work on my 2001 "S"?

Yup, those should work just fine. In my owners manual the standard offset for a 986 would be 50mm in front and 52mm in the rear.
