The tires would fit on the rims.
On the very lowest side in front (as per this site: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-...0R16/205-50R16).
But 6" is quite narrow for a 928. I would not put anything less than 7".
The front offset is also on the lower side. The rear's good.

The "hot new rim" for the 928 are Cayman and Panamera take-offs. These show up on eBay and Craigslist fairly often. Look for 18" diameter and 8" and 9" wheels. Better offsets and better looking (IMO). Tires will be pricey for those wheels, I do have to add.

Take the width of the rim (8 inch,s here) and add about an inch and a half for this small a wheel (16 inch), then multiply by 25.4 to get the proper width of the tire profile.
Even if these wheels are not suitable for your 928, if they have the tire pressure sensors in them, they might be worth buying just to have some of those, especially if some are 2.5 BAR. Depends on how much they can be bought for, of course.
If you pass on these let me know, because I might be interested. Thanks.
