Default Carrera IV wheels

Do 997.2 Carrera IV wheels fit a NB 996 that is lowered to GT3 height?

The online seller doesn't/too lazy to get the part numbers, so I am not sure of the offsets. I have found different offsets on the web.

Yes, but there are CarreraIV wheels for narrow and wide body 997.
I have a set from a narrow body 997 which I use on my narrow body 996. The rears fill the rear arches nicely (better than the standard rims).
The fronts have more offset and are recessed inside the arches. They will fit without spacers, but look lost. A 7mm spacer brings them out to about the normal offset for a 996 wheel, but I use a 15mm spacer on the front and they come out to fill the arch similar to the rears.

Thanks. But the set on ebay has sold and the seller didn't say whether or not NB or WB. I am just going to save up and probably go with Wheel Dynamics RS808.
