What is the most aggressive offset for a nb 996

For the rear wheels 19x11 what is the most I can go and still stay within the fender? Will a 11.5 inch rim x19 fit on the back of a 996? Can I go to 18's and put a wider rim on? Thanks for the help.

11 wide with 60 ET is about the best you can get

They have this new wheel bbs CH, the offsets on the 19's seem too much? 19x11 with ET 58 , can these fit a NB? 19x8.5 with et 51

Would it also depend on if you're running Coilovers as the physical dimensions can be smaller than factory setups?

What does the offset mean?
How do you get the offset number on a wheel ?
Do wheels spacer play a role in the offset?
Want to replace my 18" OEM wheels with 19".
Do I need to change to a smaller tire size to fit.
