I did some test fitting with an extra set of late model 911 rims i had sitting around in the garage on my last car before the sawzall took care of it....
These have a 52mm offset. For the rear, the tire hit the trailing arm and the inside of the fenderwell/trunk wall. If the trailing arm was notched (about .5") and the fender well/trunk area was moved towards the car centerline, I think these would fit just fine. This approach would be similar to how the hotrod guys "tub" a car to put big fat tire on it without flares.

Err, there isn't a ton of rust. Good thing this is a race car and not a show car. I just welded a piece of stainless steel to cover all that rusty metal up. It's not as bad as it looks. there isn't any structural rust, which would really cause problems.
