Default Will 1999 996/Boxter twist 9" X 17" fit my 84 Carrera with spacers????

I found a great deal on some Factory twist wheels. The kind that look like "twisted cup" wheels not "Turbo twist". They are 7" and 9" wide by 17 dia . with a 55mm offset.
I believe my current offset is stock 23mm, right??
So 32mm spacers should work??
Has anyone mounted 9 x 17 ET 55 wheels on the back of a Carrera?
If so what tire size worked for you?

Thank you for your time.

I've seen them on turbo bodied cars...they look great! I'm sorry I don't have an answer to the narrow bodied cars. Anyone...?

i dont believe they have the correct lug pattern dimentions/distances (they y have 5 lugs but a differnt measurement for the pattern.. how ever you wanna describe it), so i dont think they will fit.

best bet is to find a friend with boxster/996 wheelsm, borrow them from his car, and see if they even fit the lug pattern/dimentions.

I did this with these exact wheels on my '85. Didn't even need spacers, as I recall (car's gone).
