I use a 315/25/19 with a M030 ROW kit with no problems, so you can fit the 295 easily.
Leading evidence: 'Use 315/25/19' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Suggestion
If you are buying new wheels just make sure the rear is the within the offsets I said, and if they are used look for other wheels.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello!
These wheels:
BBS LM 8.5x18" ET56 and BBS LM 11x18" ET50, for a 996 MY02 Carrera 2.
How would they fit? Any comments of the offset?
Btw, for a 285 wide rear tire, is the 11x18" too wide? Another option is a 10x18"...but 11" sounds cool (or is there the same lip because of the same offset?)
Thank you if you have the time and knowledge to answer!
Deeply appreciated
is it even safe to consider putting 11" on a lowered narrow body? I'd think one could potentially ruin their fenders/wheels/tires completely in certain drivingcircumstances/speed bumps/driveways potentially by hitting the fenders with the wheel.. even more if the vehicle is lowered? (if it wasn't lowered, i'd think it'd look pretty damn silly..)
Bob first off 11" wheels can fit on a 996 narrow body. The GT3 use 11" and is a narrow body car. Now as someone said here the offsets are not right for your car. The 11" offset should be 60-65. The LM you are looking at is for a wide body car and will stick out the back. With that said you also can fit the 295/30 with 11" rim, which I think looks better since it has a little more sidewall height. I use a 315/25/19 with a M030 ROW kit with no problems, so you can fit the 295 easily. The front of a C4s or Turbo is the same offset as a regular C2 so if thoes wheels are for a wide body the front will fit. If you are buying new wheels just make sure the rear is the within the offsets I said, and if they are used look for other wheels.
Thanks for the replys and information. It helped me much.
Why I posted the wrong sizes/offsets ? Well I asked a wheel dealer I know (who is in touch with BBS Germany) what kind of LeMans wheels he could offer me and he gave me the wrong info.
