Wheels - Any body run the Porsche Lobster Claws?, Considering the 8" and the 9.5" Options

I understand that these are not to everyone's taste, but please set that aside -
Wondering if anyone has run these or if the offsets are just too much for the typical GT flared car... A quick search came up with little info and no photos on a 914 -
These also come in 11" rears which is too wide currently for my car -
Thanks -

Plus, when you run spacers, you change the front tire's scrub geometry which makes for heavier steering feel. Spacers that would work with those wheels would likely create seriously heavy steering.

I think Chris is right. I've been trying to find affordable zero offset rims that I can afford for a year now. Mine does have heavy steering, however, with recent suspension changes it it a lot better. I'm about to update my thread with my latest wheel info but here it is.

I now have 2 sets of 2003 turbo wheels.
18x8 with 50et and 18x11 45et. I need to remeasure my spacers, but they are about 2" rear and 2.5" front.

Note: My fenders are Sheridan and are setup for 10" all around. I can run as large as 11s in front. In fact i was running 11s all around at WCR. But I am going with recommendations to use a staggered setup on the track. I haven't had any pushing issues yet with 8s on the front.
