Default (Yet another) rim size question

I have a line on some 18" rims, can't tell if they will fit a narrowbody 996 ...

18X8 993 362 14 00 offset 40

18X10 993 621 36 01 offset 50

Are these for the widebody cars?

There are no such Porsche wheels, and those part numbers do not make sense. Can you verify the above information?

I think the rim shop missed a digit in the serial # there, although the front does show up on Pelican's part search as an 8X18 turbo-look rim ... the fronts are an offset of 50 and the rears are 40. I think the fronts will fit a narrowbody okay, but the rears will not, they must be for a widebody car? If I'm correct, I need a 65 offset for the rears.

Turbo Look I:

7.5 x 18 - ET50 - 993.362.134.06
8 x 18 - ET52 - 993.362.136.01
9 x 18 - ET52 - 993.362.138.01
10 x 18 - ET40 - 993.362.140.03 (will not fit your car)
10 x 18 - ET65 - 993.362.140.04
