Default Indulge me in yet another wheel offset question

Did not find it anywhere in the Search function.

Car is a 1986 Turbo. Wheels I believe to be off a 930. Fronts are 17 x 8 with ET 30.4. Rears are 17 x 10 ET 5.

Will they fit as is or will small spacers be needed?

I ran a set of replicas on my 86 turbo that came off an 86 930. I dont remember the offsets, but they were 8's and 10's. The fronts were fine, the rears I had to roll the fenders.

From what I read you won't be able to have yours for much longer either...

Sounds like they would be just a bit too wide but you might be lucky. I believe a late offset 10" et to be 55-60mm. Mine are 60. It will also depend on your car's ride height and suspension. Maybe with a bit of neg?

I'm really afraid of the 5mm offset. I can push the fronts out with a small spacer but the rears I don't know about. Funny thing is that I've seen these wheels on our cars and they are truly the wheel that I've wanted for a long time. I may have to pass.
