Default Wheel sizes and offsets

I've seen a nice set of wheels for sale and have the following dimensions. Do you guys see any issues fitting to a 997TT?

Front 9 x 20 ET47
Rear 11.5 x 20 ET56

Hi, your rear offset is deep. The larger the number the deeper the rear edge of the rim is to the strut/inner wheel well.
But if you have no choice the spacer idea works. Porsche always had spacers on old Turbos (if I remember way back then).

Run a 15mm spacer in the back with 325/25/20 MPSS with 245/30/20 MPSS in the front. It will look awesome. What brand and model wheels?

They're Gemballa 20". Name:  21740067_10214404681052235_8726873824754347686_n.jpg

I was a bit worried about the fronts being a bit too far out. I've got no issue with putting spacers at the back.

I think they would look pretty good on a meteor grey turbo though.
