Default Best Offset for 86 944 Turbo?

I'm looking for some aftermarket wheels for my turbo. Preferably factory Porsche wheels.

I found some 993 Turbo twist that are front 7.5 inches wide with 50mm offset and the rears are 10 inches wide with 65mm offset. Will these fit?

Also will 996 Turbo wheels fit as well?

Any other suggestions - what are you guys running?

The 86 Turbo has early suspension. I am not familiar with fronts, but to run a 65mm offset rear, you will need around a 1" spacer. The 996 Turbo wheels are a popular option on the early offset cars because the rears fit without issue. I believe they come in offsets of around 45. Us with late cars have the later offsets and cannot run an offset that low. Do a search, as wheel choices for early/late cars has been covered quite often and there should be no trouble finding info.
