18" to 19" wheels

I have 18 X 10's on my car with an ET 47. I don't know how 11s would fit, as the tolerances are tight with the 10s. My car is also lowered quite a bit so the "rim" could not extend beyond the wheel lip and I sure wouldn't raise the car to make it fit and look like a 4 X 4. As is, I had to cable tie the parking brake cable to the lower arms so it wouldn't rub on the tire.

I run an 18x10 ET45 and I find that to be perfect. You can run ET40 on a 10" rim but that is absolutely outer limit if you expect the tire to clear the fender. I know some guys run a 10.5, but I don't see how there is room for an 11" rim if you still want to keep fender clearance on the outside.

As to spacers, you only need spacers if there is not enough offset in the wheel. The sweet spot for a 10" rim is 45-47mm.

The 996 Turbo rears are 18x11 ET45.
