Wheel Fitment Question

Hey guys,
I'm trying to help someone figure out if these will fit a NB 996.

Wheel specs:
F- 19x8.5 - et57
R- 19x11.5 et-47

Would they fit?

Thanks in advance

the fronts should fit but the rears are aggressive.

Nope, that is a wide body fitment. The rears will just be too far out by about 10-15mm

Fronts will work, you could probably get away with a 7mm spacer if you want.

Rears are too aggressive by close to 20mm. I doubt they will fit. You'll need a fender roll and aggressive alignment to even come close.
