And before you ask... yes they will fit, but you will need to roll/flare your rear fender slightly depending on your tire choice. A 285 tire might fit without issue. If you have a GTS... you're in good shape.

Are you sure those will fit? I thought the rear offset needed to be in the 55 to 65 range for an ideal fit?

It may... ever so slightly rub on the inside, but according to my calculator... it'll fit on a GT, nicely I might add. But if it did rub, you could get a 3~5mm shim and shim it out.

If it rubs, it will rub on the outside not the inside. Shimming it will make it rub even more.
The front at ET55 is okay as long as the tire size does not exceed 225/45.
The rear at ET49 will likely rub on the outside with tire size 285 and larger. Typically for an 11" wheel one would look at around ET58.

It won't be a deal much longer now that the attention of the 928 bargain hunters has been aroused....

He got an offer of $1500 lined up. I would have picked them up today at the starting bid price.

The 928 "bargain hunters" expect an entire running driving car for $1,800 or less !

well...hope it wasn't a 928 owner cause these will not fit at all. The fronts will hit on the tie rod ends and the outer front fender. The backs are really tight on the inside and you'll probably have to add like 2 inches of rolling. Someone here tried those exact rims and it just didn't work...

Yes... but it's easier to flare the outside than the inside...
