Default Wheel Help

I have a C2S with turbo wheels I'm looking to replace.
According to the owners manual the rears have an offset between 68-70 (both are listed in the wheel data and it doesn't differentiate between the different wheel options).
I see a set of wheels I would like that came from a 911 Turbo that have an offset of 56. Would these work with a spacer?
Thanks in advance.

No, offset is wrong way...spacer would make it stick-out worse.

As above, the change in offset is like adding a 12 or 14 mm spacer. Which I think would look good. I have 17mm extended on my 5-lug GTS, though you wouldn't want to go more aggressive than this.

I just checked using a straightedge and level. 1/2 inch would put the outside edge of my tire just flush with the top fender flair. I'm concerned about getting spray off the tires onto the body, we get a lot of rain here, raining now.
