Rears: 10 x 18, ET 40, 265/40.18

Standard wheels are 8x18 et50, 10x18 et65. The ones your looking at will be tight (particularly the rears), but should fit with a couple of provisos...

1) Rear tyre should be a 35 profile (are you sure it's a 40 profile? That's a Boxster size)
2) You will almost certainly need to have your rear arches rolled
3) You will need to remove the spacers

They will be pretty flush at the rear!

Thank you. The seller was not sure which Porsche the wheels belonged to he just knew it did not belong on his 997.

Are they aftermarket or Porsche wheels... Do you have a picture of them?

They don't match any of the stock offsets I know.
