I don't know why anyone didn't answer you. Yes, Pretty much all late offset Porsche wheels will fit all late offset cars. You may need spacers, those are some deep offsets. You are talking about Porsche wheels?

you will need a 15 to 18mm spacer in the back
the fronts are a perfect fit

The front might rub the fender with that spacer. The stock offset is the same as what you listed - 16x7 et55. I'd say take the spacer off (or use a thinner one).

The back 16x9 et 70 with 1.25" spacer should be perfect.

Lots of good info in this thread. I found a square setup that I am considering buying for my 968. They are 18x9 et52 all around. Any input on how this will fit the car?

This will work great with 245/45-16 tires! I ran this set up years ago when first racing. The 18" wheels give you better tire options today.
