Default Cayenne wheels

Is anyone out there running these 18 inch Cayenne wheels ? The offset is ET57.
I am thinking about buying a used set for my 84.
I think they will fit, but wanted to get some advise from the experts.
If they will fit, what size tires can I run with them ? .... The widest without rubbing.
Thanks.

these wheels are too heavy to use on the 928
Better choice would be to look for Panamera wheels or Cayman wheels

OR read this linky

My 87 has these wheels. I purchased it that way. They seem heavy to me, but I don't have anything to compare it to. The wheels fit with no issues - no spacers required.

I know I read somewhere that Cayenne wheels weren't suitable for Sharks because they were 'hub-centric' and not 'lug-centric'. I wasn't happy with the look of the stock 16s on my Shark, and I'm unhappy with the ride on the 18s I have now, but I have a set of 17" takeoffs from my Cayenne just sitting.
