Default Wheel offset?

Hi everyone, starting to get things lined up for my upcoming GT4. I searched on wheel offsets so I can pick out some street wheels but it seems very odd. What I saw referenced was ET61 for the front and ET50 for the rear. The front seems very high... Please see below for comparisons I used;

Cayman GTS 20" - Front ET50, Rear ET50
991 S 20" - Front ET49, Rear ET65
991 GT3 20" - Front ET52, Rear ET49

Do I have the right measurements for a GT4? Trying to see if any currently available wheels would work.

I saw the same offset referenced on Suncoast.

Wheel Dimensions:
- Front 8.5" x 20" - 61mm offset
- Rear 11" x 20" - 50mm offset

Whatever you do, make your life easy and get offsets that are close to stock. This way, when you flip flop between your street wheels/tires and your track wheels/tires you aren't flip flopping spacers as well. Obviously wheel studs and lug nuts would make all of this as painless as can be but if it's a street car and some folks don't want those, which we understand.

Shoot, was hoping it was a typo for that front offset...Means I can't leverage using a rim from another Porsche model and have to wait for one to be built for the GT4.
