The issue is going to be more related to tires. There are very few 15" performance tires that are still available in sizes that are desirable for use on a 911.

8 & 9(or even wider) can be fitted when they have the right ET and the right tire, in 15 -18" sizes.

Unfortunately the only streetable 15" sizes that I can find after an admittedly short search, are Toyos in 205/50, 225/50 and 225/45 sizes, The Toyo lines are RA1 or 888.

You could fit 205/50 x15 on an 8, though it's .5" wider than recommended and you can fit 225/50 or 225/45 on 9, though again it's .5" wider than recommended. But you would need ET in the range 25-30 for the 8s and 12-15 for the 9's.

The factory used 7ET23.3 & 8ET10.6 w/ 205/50 and 2225/50 x15 on early Carreras. That's what I would use too.
