Tire rack Turbo S option. Offsets are not the same. Close enough or no?

You're good with the above offsets.

Another Porsche center lock winter set has the following specs

9jx20 ET 55 245/35 R20 91V M+S
12x20 ET 47 315/35 R20 110 M+S

the 4GTS has these factory wheel specs

9x20 ET 51 245/35 ZR20
12x20 ET 63 305/40 ZR20

Specs not close enough for this winter wheel set? Thanks.

Heads up on TPMS sensors

Thanks for all the input. I went ahead and purchased the OEM Turbo S CL winter package from Porsche. It turns out the TPMS sensors in those wheels are compatible with 991.1s, but not my 991.2s (seems crazy). The TPMS system could not sense the new wheels, so I had to take it into the dealership and have them swap in 991.2 sensors. Whether you buy OEM or go after market, I'd make sure in advance that the sensors that come with your wheel package align with your era 991.

I bought last year some pre-owned 991.1 GT3 CL wheels with winter rubber on them for my 991.2 GTS and I also learned the hard way that the sensors are not compatible. I just dealt with the error message last winter and this fall got the correct sensors from TireRack for half the price of the Porsche ones (which I think they are the same unit) and had my local indy Porsche guy (who also does wheels) swap them before I put the winters on this year.
