Not a 100% positive, but I think they're right on for your '86 951.

They will fit, I have BBS RG wheels and they have the same offset, but they are 7.5 and 8.5 widths, on my 86 951.

Yes, those will fit perfectly! The 11mm rear offset is to make up for the missing 21mm spacer that was used in the pre-'86 cars with 23.3mm offset. I haven't been able to get a straight answer out of anyone why Porsche left off that spacer in '86 (on NA car too). This ends up creating a wierd visual effect where the rear wheel is inset into the fenders about 1" more than the front... bizarre....
