Hi can anyone tell me if these would fit a narrow body?8,5x18 ET 40 und 11x18 ET55

Not without some serious arch rolling.

Fronts for example: OEM 8jx18" run ET50 offsets. The wheels you mention sit 10mm further out and are 0.5" wider, hence the arches would need tickling to eliminate any fouling, particularly on lock.

Rears: OEM 10jx18" run ET65. I run ET59 on my 10jx18" Speedlines and the arches had to be tickled ever so slightly... An 11jx18" ET55 would sit a further 4mm out in addition to the extra inch width.

There are a few places that specialise. Here's an example: http://www.archenemy.co.uk/

A decent bodyshop may also be able to help.

Thanks for the info.. not sure i want to go down the arch rolling road i'm worried about the paint also if it 10mm thats quite alot to roll out, maybe i could get away with tyre stretch and camber with these sizes?
 
What ride height are you running?

Re the wheels you mentioned, even with an aggressive camber and stretched tyres, I would still think that arch work/rolling will be required.
Can't the same wheels be ordered or modified in more 993 friendly offsets. What wheels are they?
