If the particular 911 wheel offset (ET) allows adequate clearance of the caliper and hub assembly, and clears the chassis metal, it will work fine; the simple test is to bolt it on front and rear - no need to inflate it.

The real test is to see if it fits into that dark well in the back ...

If that's the case, phone the owner for the backspacing measure (mm depth from the back rim edge to the hub mounting face) - and any other size data on the tire.
If you get that, post back and any of us can compare to the "real thing".

Check PET if 911 it came from and your 928 have spares with similar ET. I think they should be mentioned there.
