The 18x11/65 might work with 2mm spacers, correct?
BSA 215a (Eagle Rock) http://www.bsa.com.my/web/wheels/215a.htm
Size:
18 x 8.0/50

Been away for a bit trying to get caught-up on threads.
So this one I did read and after it got to the off-set and weight and replies from that info I am with the majority here in that you should not buy those wheels they will not work!
Shop around and find the right wheels.
Seems you are stuck on 18's, I have 19's and they fit perfectly without any spacers or rubbing (suspension or fenders) and I am running the x74 suspension so the car is pretty low, and my car is a NB. Here are my specs:
Front:
19x8.5 et 49
235/35/19
Rear:
19x10 et 53
275/30/19
GL with your search but take your time and know your budget.

I just purchased a set of used BSA 215a from my dealer for my 99 C2. The fronts fit beautifully … snug fit to the hub, however the rear has some play on the hub. I figured I'll need to get a set of hub centric rings for proper fitment.
In checking the BSA website, I suspect the center hole for the BSA rim to be 73.1 mm. I measured the rear hub and I have 2 3/4" or 70mm. Could someone validate that the measurement for the rear hub is correct as I had a bit of a challenge measuring with the notches on the hub, plus it helps to validate with other Porsche enthusiast.
Thanks
