AP1to911 is correct about the narrow rear fitment. Rears for the Carreras in this wheel design are 11x19 +67 offset and take a 295/30-19 tire. I know because I have a set available.

They would fit with spacers, but you'd have to run a narrower rear tire than what's spec'd for the 997 so you'd be sacrificing footprint, grip, & aesthetics (that nice wide rear tire look from the rear view). With the correct 997 rears you can run a 295 or 305 rear tire on a C2 or C2S, which is why these narrower Boxster/Cayman wheels have 275s mounted on them; vs. a 305, that's 1.2" less contact area. The set I have came off a 997 C2S and are the correct wheels and won't require any spacers.

those are not the correct tire size for a 997. Furthermore the rear rim width is not correct.
