Those are 997TT wheels. Play with the offset calculator and use what it tells you to take some measurements. Looks like it is very very close but would be a very tight fit if it works. I am in no way saying that it will. The usual max on the rear 996 with a 10" wheel is ET48 (this is using the stock ET65 with a 17mm spacer as recommended by Porsche) or ET63 with an 11". This wheel is nearly 10-11 mm further out. Which makes it a grey area unless a test fit is done. Things that may make it work are additional negative camber in the rear and rolling the fender lip and lastly not using too big of a tire for the wheel so that you end up with the euro style of the tire being stretched on the rim (like a 295 or 305) as opposed to ballooning a bigger 315 on there.

Hope this helps ya out.
