I have access to a set of BBS LM 18x11 wheels with a 56 offset. They are brand new and the owner wants them out of his garage. Price is minimal. Any 6sixspeeder run this width on a NB 996?. The info I can find show they do fit. Just would like to hear from someone who is using them.

 

11" rear with a 56 offset won't work, You need 63-67. That wheel is for a WB car.

 

That's 22mm further out than stock. Awfully tight, and if you could somehow make it work it wouldn't look right.

 

your choice of tire size is exteremly important too

 

you can make it work... by rolling fenders and/or agressive camber. An extra 7mm is only .27".

 

11" 56et will work fine.

I run 11" 63et with a 7mm spacer = 56 et. This is with a -2 camber in the rear.

 

I am running 11" with a 60 offset and they are right at the edge of the fender. I was looking at a set of 11s with a 55 offset and I think they will be slightly outside the fender. They are Victor wheels and the website lists 996 NB as cars that the wheel will fit but I am not convinced. I would be cautious.

 

I`ve 11x18 et56 BBS LM`s with 295/35-18 Michelin Pilot Cups. Ride height with my KW V3 should be about 15mm lower than row m030, camber -2.3 and the fenders are rolled. Driven many laps on Nurburgring Nordschleife and even jumped with the car and there have never been any problems with my setup and 295 MPS Cups on 11x18 et 56 LM`s!

 

Im running 11 with 54ET and it works!
