Curious to see if anyone has ran a rear wheel that's this aggressive? I'm currently at 11.5 + 46 and it's pretty flush so wondering how an extra 15mm poke would look. Thanks in advance
11.5 ET46 going to 11 ET15 will result in 25MM outboard difference. Thats a full inch completely outside of the fenders.
I run 18x11 ET38 on my E88's and it's already too aggressive (it sticks out 2MM more than your current setup). Going to ET15 would be an outboard difference of 23MM for me.
I'll add that the more I look at setups with "flush" / aggressive offsets the worse the car looks. As I compare other people's setups to mine, the ones that run a few more MM of "tuck" look best.
When I ditch my E88's (which I'm on the verge of), I'm definitely going with at least 5MM less offset in the back.

sorry bud you’re right. The wheels are actually 18x11+25 (I typed it incorrectly).
18x11ET25 is pretty aggressive. That's 13MM more offset than I currently have and yeah, 15MM more outboard than your current setup. Believe that's the offset that TechArt Daytona's were for both the 996/993.
Here's a pic of that setup. The rim is definitely outside the fender but with some tire stretch you can get the tire to tuck back in.

thanks bud. Yeah those are the wheels I was considering. So to confirm, those are the 11+25mm? Looks pretty sick imo

Another thing to consider is your brake clearance. Not sure if you have 2S or 4S? I have 4S with 18x11 ET40 in the rear and it barely cleared the brake caliper.
Brake caliper clearance is determined by having the correct centers, not the offset or width of your wheel. For example on 4S you can run 18x10” rears, 11” or 11.5”. Running wheels bigger than 11” you risk rubbing inner fender or outer lip, not brake caliper.

Edwin- that’s my 2S in Forrest Green. Trust me you would not want 18x11 et 25 on the rear unless you want to roll/pull fenders or have crazy negative camber in order to stuff them inside the wheel wells.

I don’t see anyone mentioning camber settings. When you start pushing the limits they make a big difference.
I have 9’s and 12’s comfortably stuffed under the car on 235/315 tires. I don’t have specs handy but do recall gaining a ton of clearance when it was setup with more aggressive track/hot street camber specs.

Has anyone ran a 18x11 +15 rears on a WB?
