Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

They will fit ok but may look a bit lost under the arches. Offset on standard 18's is F 57 R 43.
According to the parts bible http://www.porsche.com/all/media/pdf/originalparts... the original sizes were: 6.5J17 et55 and 8.0j17 et40 I am not sure which size spacer you would need for the rears. My logic would be to keep the centre line correct with 8mm and stick to the original tyre sizes. From http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/tyre-equivalen... we see that the 235 width tyres fit both sizes ok.
