Might poke a little, especially the rear.

Those are going to stick out more than a little bit on a narrow 924 with no fender arches.

The original wheels for your car probably have an ET of ~52mm. Those wheels with an ET 25 will be pushed out and sit closer to the fender lip by more than 27mm if they were the exact same width as original. Wider = sticking out even further.

I hope that makes sense.

I thought the factory 4-lug wheels had an offset of around 33 or 35?

I have 16x7 (49mm offset) front and 16x8 (49mm offset) rear on my 924. The rears have a 16mm spacer IIRC. I think adding a spacer effectively reduced the offset. If that is correct my rear wheels would have an equivalent offset of 33mm. My car has the 5 lug (M471) suspension. Not sure if the trailing arms or hubs are different than the 4-lug cars which may change things a bit.

Four lug cars ran lower offset wheels. 7" wide +22mm was same as stock fitment. Hence my comment "poke a bit"
