Default WIll they fit?

My friend wants to sell me his wheels and tires off of his Porrsche 996/911. The sizes are:
Continental Sport Contact II Tires:
Front Tires: 235/35/19
Rear Tires: 295/30/19

19x8.5 Front 42mm offset
19x11 Rear 40mm offset

Will they fit and what is your opinion if this would be a good size on my 1996 RT/10?
thanks!

1. Wheels won't fit - wrong bolt pattern, too few lugnut holes(!), too narrow.
2. Tires way too narrow.
3. Is this a joke?

Probably just a lack of knowledge.

Vipers use 6 lugs for strength. They use 10" wide rims on front and 13-14" rims on rear. 345x19's and 20's. 335x17"s and 18"s

Sorry bud, even a Z06 has bigger tires than that. Maybe sell them to an ordinary vette?

Just for the sake of historic perspective...

Vipers use 6 lugs because that's what a 4wd Dakota used - which is where the Viper originally got front upper a-arms and all its wheel bearings/hubs.
