Default Will these wheels work?

I have decided to swap out the wheels that came on my car for a new set of Niche Targa M131 in the Silver finish.

They are 20x8.5 w/ 47mm offset in fronts, and 20x10.5 w/ 40mm offsets in the rear.

Can anyone tell me if these will fit a '09 Carrera S Cab?

I have seen only 3 pics online of these wheels on a 911, but can't be sure if they will fit a 997.2 narrow body car.

I just ordered them. I will post pics when I get them on the car. Wish me luck.

Rear offset is for a wide body car and they will protrude past the fender. I wouldn't put them on my narrow body 2010 C2S.

Not true. Wide body 19x11 is a +40. I have also ran 19x11 +40 on Narrow body and it also works, but its pretty aggressive. I believe if your running a 10.5 on narrow body, it should be around 50-55

What's not true? OEM rear offset on the 997.1 C2 is 67mm so 40mm would extend 27mm (over an inch) more than stock - pretty far out in my opinion.

I guess its really personal preference. I personally think stock sits in too far. All I can tell you from personal experience that 19x11 et40 works on a 997 narrow body, but may be a tad too aggressive for some.

I like the look of them, but think they look to big, I would go for 19's. Is that a Photo-shop, they look so big it almost makes the car look higher off the ground IMO.

Why does the front wheel look like a 19" wheel and rear looks like a 22" wheel?

As long as you like them and the ride comfort.
They are a different style from what is shown on the 991 in the first pic
