Hey lovethesport, they'll fit but I think the stagger might throw off traction quite a bit
No issues with overall diameter and so forth as long as you get the correct sized tires, but I'd be a little worried about a slimmer tire up front (resulting in a smaller contact patch) and a wider tire in the back.
Might increase understeer...

The answer to your question is, "it depends." The wheel bolt patterns are the same and most 19" wheels will clear the brakes on most Cayenne models. The offsets are important. My Turbo S had offsets of 50 (front) and 45 (rear) while my TT has completely different offsets. Also, while the rear tire widths are close, the circumferences of the tires are very different. Finally, 911 wheels may not be designed for the weight of a Cayenne. Staggered widths will cause problems as mentioned above. So there are lots of issues.
Here are a couple of quick photos of my Cayenne wheels next to my TT wheels to show you the differences.

Ask for Damon, he is a sponsor and an an active member here and he will hook you up.The spare lips are the price you pay for good looks on a lowered TT.

So, I want to expand my answer that I wrote in the beginning 
I had to leave home, gf got mad at me for being online until the last moment anyways..
If you are going to use it on a cayenne turbo, then I'd say 19", otherwise at least 18" wheel size is required. Other than that, as the other users said, 911 wheels may not be a good choice for cayenne, although they are made by the same company, Porsche, they may or may not handle the weight of the Cayenne. Results may be either perfect, or you may end up with bent wheels after a while, which results in vibration at high speeds.
If you want proof, there you go.
Also, nice tire rack setup, I could never manage to use my garage as efficient as you guys...

LOL. It does get confusing. I was looking at the wheels you posted again and I think they are the 22" Turbo replicas being sold on eBay. I don't know about the quality but the price is pretty good.
