18x8.5" ET+56mm for the front. 18x10" ET+65mm

They came off of an NB 997. Thanks!

yes, will fit. but you may want to go with different tire sizing to keep overall diameter as close to stock as possible, maybe drop to a 25 profile in the rear. talk to Damon @ TireRack or search 996 forum, a lot of posts on this subject..

BTW I have a set of really nice Imola forged 19" wheels FS for $600 which will fit your car perfectly- would look sick with painted centers. Look in the parts for sale forum section.

I believe the 997 10" OEM rear are 57et not 65.

Front offset probably require a spacer. Rear would fit just fine.

On my 99 NB I used a front 7.5 "with 50 offset and 7mm spacer with 225/40/18 and the rear 10" with 65 offset and 15mm spacer with 265/35/18. No fittiment or rubbing isses.
