Speedline Wheels Question

I went to look at the Speedline wheels this evening. And, of course, they were not what I thought they would be.
They are the same style Speedline wheels as the RS one's, but I believe they are for a widebody.
The fronts are 9" wide with ET48
The rears are 11" wide with ET55
They are absolutely dead mint perfect still in the original shipping boxes with original padding. I took some pictures that I will upload tomorrow.
Any way for me to use these on a narrow body car??

Several people have asked for these pictures, so here they are. I believe the wheels will fit wide bodied 993s. So far, nobody has commented whether they will fit a narrow body, so I assume that they will not.
The pictures are of the front wheel only. The black lettering is not on the rear wheels "speedline Corse" and "Mariani". On the lip is also printed in white lettering "Speedline" which is on all 4 wheels.
Hope this helps somebody. I was a bit off on the original pricing. My friend wants $3500 (not $2500). This is still a significant savings over the new cost, and these wheels are new. If interested, I will see if he wants to sell them to the general public, or I can broker the deal for somebody (at no additional cost except shipping).
The wheels are still in the original shipping boxes.

I don't have my "wheel calculator chart" available but those wheels would be very tight fit, if they fit at all on narrow body cars. Depens also what kind af camber settings car has etc.
If I had to say for sure now without the "calculator", I'd say no, they don't fit.

FF,
That's what I have been saying in my last three posts. These are Widebody offsets and they are not the Speedline for Porsche RS wheels. They were mis-represented to me, but when we cut the boxes open to take the pictures, they were clearly too wide for the RS wheels since they are 9s and 11s.
No worries from me, since I was not buying them until I could confirm what they were. Now we know, anybody want me to pursue this for them?

I have a set of the "not RS" Speedlines and it seem to me they had an unusual offste which worked just fine on my NB. The centers are off to be Powder-Coated but I will check offsets. e
I need center caps for this same wheel if anyone might have some?

I was able to fit 11" rims on my cab (see sig pic below) but it required rolling the fenders slightly...I forgot what the exact ET on my rims are but I think they are either ET52 or ET55 (you can look on the Gemballa website to double check). Also keep in mind that there are slight dimension variations from car to car, and sometimes clearance even differs from the left vs. right side. Combined with variations in tire widths among different brands, the only way to tell 100% is to mount up some tires and try them on.
BTW Speedline Corse also makes the Gemballa Competitions that are on my car

FWIW, the centers of my wheels state 50et and 53et, as the wheels are disassembled I am unsure of the widths, 235s and 265s were mounted and the rear tires were pinched on the rims, they did however fit my ROW lowered narrow coupe. e

Both handle wheels and caps on this side of the big water. Good luck
