The front should be okay but the rear offset may only fit a Widebody 993 (TT, 2S, 4S). Since all Cabs are Narrowbodys, you will require more offset, say ET63-65. Too bad Viken is not around, he could give you the specifics.

FWIW, the NB RS has 52 front and 65 ET rear. 18 inchers.

Fronts yes, rears no - unless you are willing to roll the fenders and possibly "pull" them as well. For the rear the least offset you could use w/o modifying your fenders is probably 52-54 for a 10" rim (my 11" rims have a 52 or 53 offset but my fenders are lightly rolled)

If your car is lowered, you will probably need to roll the fenders and I believe you should be ok. I had 18x10 Speedlines 61mm on the rear of my 964 cab and used a 14mm spacer for a net 47mm offset. My car was not dropped much so I did not have to roll the fenders.
