18 inch wheel fitment question?

I was looking at a set of 18 inch BSA wheels I do not know fitment on my car for 18 inch.

I have a 2000 NB cabrio 996

Front rim is 18x8 with a ET 48
Rear rim 18x10 with a ET 40

Are these OK for a 996 NB? If it is What is the largest tire I can run? I want to be flush with my fender in the rear. Thanks

Nope, won't work. The standard is front 88x18 with a ET 50 and rear 18x10 with a ET 65. The front will work, but the rears are out 40mm farther and will rub.

Those are probably for a 993 or older model. I don't know if BSA are even being imported into the US anymore. Last importer I knew stopped with them at least 3 years ago.
