970 wheel size compatibility

Will the 20" Panamera Design Wheels stock for 2016+ models (971) fit in my 2011 panamera (970)?

20" Panamera Design Wheels specs:

Front: 9.5 x 20 ET71 wheels with 275/40 R20 tires
Rear: 11.5 x 20 ET68 wheels with 315/35 R20 tires

970 stock wheels (current)

Front: 9,5Jx20 inch ET65 wheels with 255/40r20 tires
Rear: 11Jx20 inch ET68 wheels with 295/35r20 tires

Thanks!

The wheels may fit but the tire combination will not fit as is.

what’s wrong to why the tire combination? Will it be too close to brake calipers?

I do not know of any cars where the tires interfere with the brake calipers.

My concerns about the tires are around the body, in the front it will likely hit the fenders and in the rear could impact your body panels. Only one way to ensure...try fitting them and take pics

From a clearance perspective looks like you clear, I'm not a fan of those wheels but that's just me.

oh yeah it’s clear by like a quarter inch. if a small rock gets in there…

im also not a fan of these wheels, but it was either pay same price for two new tires only (got a flat) or get 4 wheels with brand new tires.

because of the ET offset I think. The wheels are closed to the calibers. what if you use the tires only with your original 20" rim. 970 20" rims are better looking than 971 20". That's my opinion.How's the ride quality?
