No. Both front and rear will stick out too far. Would need to do lots of flarring.

Okay, Mr Generalization. I use Andrew's fitment calculator. How do you think I know those wheels won't fit? The fitment calc is what helps me visualize the effects of offest and width.

I use that size rear wheel but with a 265 tire and it's close, a 285 will most likely rub. The fronts with a 39 mm offset, I 'm afraid just won't work. They will definitely stick out. My Guess those wheels are for turbo bodied 911.

I just want to correct myself on the rears... They should fit with up to 275s, no flarring
