Default 996 wheels

Hello I'm new in the Porsche world just got myself a 2003 996 carrera4 cabriolet. The wheels the car came with are not originals,
I'm looking at these turbo twist 18 inch wheels
Front: Size: 18x8 Offset: ET50 Tires: 225/40/18 Part Number: 996.362.136.01 Rear: Size: 18x10 Offset: ET47 Tires: 265/35/18 Part Number: 996.362.140.01.
Don't really understand the offset.
Anyone know if these will fit or if this has already been discussed can you share the thread so i can look into.
Thanks

The front should be no problem, the rears might be tight with that tire could possibly clear depending on how square the rear tire is and that can vary by brand. I would suggest something with a higher offset in the rear like 50-65mm and then you can play with spacers if you want.

Thank you both, I really like the style of the turbo twist but there are so many different sizes, i might just go for a different type of wheel. Thanks again both
