I really doubt that the extra offset would be detrimental to your wheel bearings. I do know that the Gemballa Competition's that I have on my 986 will fit the non-wide body 996 perfectly. I have 18x8.5's in front and 18x10's in the rear with basically the same offset that you described earlier. I have had no wheel bearing issues in the 10k miles that I've driven since putting the Gemballas on. I did have a bad rear wheel bearing, but that was with the stock wheels.
I would drop by the dealership and ask them to bolt a front and rear wheel on your 987. I know that my local dealer would do this for me, yours may not. I have been toying with the idea of buying a newer 996 Cab in a few years and plan on keeping the Gemballas when I do.
