Hi, I have long admired the BBS LM wheel. Finally took the plunge and after a 5 month wait got the wheels delivered for my 98 Boxster.

Got them in 18 inch Front: 18x8.5 ET56 Rear 18x10 ET50.

I have seen threads and pics in other forums where owners reverse mount them in their 911’s for a wider more aggressive look. Can anyone here familiar with this please advise if reverse mounting would work on a 986?

Also, was thinking of going with a 275 or 285 rear tire and would welcome any input if I would run into fitment issues.

Thanks and look forward to the input.
