I did some search and couldn't find an accurate answer to wheel fitment for 18" Speedlines.

The situation is I am looking at a set of 18's in (fronts) 8.5 with ET46 and (rears) 10 with 54ET. I saw others fit the rears (18x10) without issues but I am concerned on the fronts. Would anyone have some insight if they have fit this wheel combination up front?

1987 951 for reference with stock suspension but plan to go to coilovers.

TIA

assuming a 7"ET52 wheel currently in front the 8.5"ET46 will stick out another inch.

Are you concerned about rubbing, or looks, or both? The ET 46 front will stick out maybe a little too far on the fronts, depends on camber and ride height. You probably want around 55-60mm front offset with 8.5-9" front wheels. Unless running a ton of negative camber, and I mean like near -4.0 deg. Also, that wide of a front rim/tire may hit the stock diameter spring.

Rears are a good fit/offset, but do be careful with tire side w/o having rolled rear fender lips.

I always really liked the Speedline/RH wheels.

Looks like the seller incorrectly stated 46ET for the fronts when in actuality they are 52ET...so all good

I have RH Alurad copies on my 89, but bought them third hand and don't know exact offset, just trusted they fit as they were originally purchased for an 87. The lips were dinged and I tried to buy new halves but I was told the number of assembly bolts had changed from 38 to 40, so I sent mine to be straightened. They came out pretty good, just something to keep in mind.

My RH's were removed from a 968.
17x7 F, 17x9 R, 55mm offset all around

18 aren’t a good choice on the 944 t the 17 is a much better in function

If you want to sell them lmk they will work great on my 996 and I’m in Staten Island

Porsche decided they were a good choice for the 968 turbo, and they were available to buy for the road going 968 too.

Yeah they made 12 and I don’t think they expected you to drive on city streets
I tried 18 on 88 944 t/s and hated the ride looks amazing but I didn’t buy to stare at it
plus your rubber selection allows you to go wider in 17 without scraping your body work
