Default turbo rim size, with the following work?

I am not a fan of 19" wheels. I have a 996 NB cab with very nice Carrera II OEM 18x10 and 18x7.5 with Michelin 22540ZR N3 PS2 front, 26535ZR18 rear. If I go for a turbo, can I use this existing wheel tire package?

The rears will sit inboard by quite a bit. You'll need at least 25mm spacers to compensate for the difference in offset, then there's the 1" difference in width.

regardless of how ya get there? ( spacers or proper fitment/offset ) these cars are so sensitive ( when awd ) that it's folly to stray too far away from either the stock sizes or gt2 sizes ( which i run )

i used to run stock twists and for a more planted and flush stance ( was lowered also ) i ran 7x15 spacers and that was a great setup for stock twists but i wouldn't take experimenting much further than that.
