997 wheel/offset question

After an unfortunate mishap I am in need of a new front wheel. My wheels aren't made anymore so I'm looking at alternatives.

I found a set of 997 Turbo wheels that are 19x8.5 et 53. Front. 19x11.5 et 44 rear.

The front offset seems really high. Would these be possible to run on a 996t?

Does anyone know where to get Champion Rs171's for a decent price? Trying to find a used set or possibly GT3rs wheels around $3k.

Offsets will fit fine on 996tt but will fill out even better with a 7mm spacer on the front and rear.

That's the input I needed. I just didn't know if a 53 offset would be too high or look like crap on the front. I do plan on running some spacers.

I just have a hard time wrapping my head around offsets........and don't get me started on tire sizes......
