Default 12" rears

Does anyone know if the cayman will take a 12" rear champion wheel off an 04 turbo?

Flare those fenders. No, wait, you don't want to ruin the car.

A 12" wheel requires at least a 305 width tire, and typically get a 315 - 335. This would be a bad idea even if you could do it, because you wouldn't have enough tire up front. Unless you put a 275 up front, you'd increase understeer.
