I have 19" on the 997 but they have started to flake and have been told they require a full refurb. That it itself is ok but they require the wheels for 3/4 days.

I have a set of 18" Victor Equipment alloys from my old 996 that are for sale atm and was wondering if i could solve the 'no wheels' for 3/4 days problem by fitting those for that time?

8.0Jx18" FRONT
11.0Jx18" REAR

Would they fit ok or would it cause a problem?

 
I would try them and see. if they are the same bolt hole sizes and do not foul anything once fitted; spin the wheel to check, then I would say they would do.
 
As an alternative I see that Excel wheel provide you with replacements whilst they refurbish your own wheels... although you might actually be paying for it, as I have no idea on what they cost...

I notice from your signature that you used to have a C4. The fronts will be fine but the offsets for the rears may be a little aggressive.
