Default wheel fitment experts needed to advise on imminent purchase

hi rennlisters, especially the wheel guru's, ive agreed the purchase of some SSR 3 piece split rims for my 1982 944.
im running 17"x9 et 15 rears with 20mm spacers at the moment no probs and 17"x7.5 et 23 up front. these fit nicely with a little bit of room to spare.
the ssr's im getting are 18"x8.5 et 47 up front, doesnt sound too drastic, could change to late offset arms etc. if necessary.
and the rears are 18"x 11.5 et 35, so obviously huge wheels.
i need these in my life and want very much to make them fit. im after a bit of tuck anyway to get a mean stance. what do you think guys ?? can i get them in. TIA, Mitch..
ive added a pic, gorgeous arent they

Did you get these on? I see they are really huge even for early offset. What are the tire specs in the rear?
