15x11 wheel offset to fit 930? anyone know

Trying to fit some 15x11s on back of a turbo look car. Does anyone know what offsets work? I have some maxilite 15x11s and they don't look like they will fit. -27 offset I think is what they are.

THanks in advance.

0 Et offset works on 11’s without spacers. It’s aggressive and puts the shoulders right under the wheel flange and still clears.

-27 11x15 maxi’s don’t fit 930 type swing arms despite their multiple reassured from them that they do!

G-body turbo look? If so 5.5" back space will fit with no spacers which is around 0 ET depending on total width of the wheel (11" wheels are more than 11" wide). An ET of 27 should be somewhere around 6.5" back spacing which would require a 1" spacer, -27 would stick out an inch.

@rarlyL8. Thanks. I just bought some maxilite 11s from a member here. They don't work with Turbo trailing arms. Confirmed even though they tell me they've sold them to 930 drivers. I think all Maxilite did was fix them so they will fit turbo brakes but didn't take into consideration the track difference on a 930 vs SC widebody.

Jay,

I'll talk to Maxilite about this and ask they take them back.
