Yes, but one does wonder why anyone would put wheels on a car that are worth more than the car itself

Before I bought my BMW, both of my cars had mods worth more than the car itself.

You can probably make them fit, but I would go to a 16" wheel instead, unless you are going to track the car.
The main reason I say this is ride quality. 17" tires are going to have less side wall than a 16" or 15" tire. Consequently you get less side wall flex with a 17" tire, which is good for the track, but less side wall flex makes for a harsh ride. Adding stiffer springs and firmer shocks will make the ride harsher still.
Think about where and how you are going to drive the car before you plunk down that kind of cash.
If you're going for pure looks, IMHO you can't beat a set of Fuchs.

Yeah, but we can always question our expenditures on our cars regardless of the relative value.
They will fit fine he is looking at BBS LM, they were designed for the early offset 911s and they happened to fit the 944. One thing about TR site. They dont do fantasy fitments. As long as you have told them what car it is they WILL fit if it says they will.

Wow, I didn't realize they downsized the BBS LM wheels. Used to come in 18" only. Personally for that price, I'd go for an 18x12/10" combo with the matching tyres in 295/30-18 & 255/35-18...

That should be 4. CCW has a great reputation. Are you going racing?
