That's a good deal, I'm not sure if they'll fit. You can try using this calculator

The front offsets are ok, but the rears are quite high for a 986. I would suggest using 10mm spacers.

Thank you Johnny! I was hoping to hear from you on the matter.

If you're really looking for a more aggressive stance, you could lower the front offset by a good 10mm's as well. As I said, at a minimum, I would recommend using a 10mm spacer on the rears.
