Looking at a set of Victor Eqipment wheels with below specs.

Front 18x8" = ET 45
Rear 18x11"= ET 25

Running 225 in the front and 295 rear.

Will they fit a 996tt?

Thanks,

JE

Yes fits great. Roll the rear fenders = required

It's about as flush and sexy as possible

I have ET35 rear on a 19x12 wheel and its flush. I rolled my fenders.

I think ET25 on 18x11 is definetly doable. Rolling fenders will be a must in the rear.

Front is good.

I found this offset calculator very helpful when selecting offsets?

I used to run my stock wheels in the rear (11" ET 45) together with a 20mm spacer and they would protrude outside of the wheel arches and it did not look nice. I had the spacers machined down to 14mm and it looks great. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a 11" ET 45 wheel with a 20mm spacer the same as a 11" ET25 wheel? As a result I would end up with the same look as the stock wheels with a 20mm spacer...........

@ 2muchtime, yes I have seen that offset calculator.

FWIW I'm running 18 x 12 with 26 offset and they fit flush with the outside fender. Mine is not yet lowered so there is no rubbing issues..yet
