my goal was to have a spare set of wheels to use as track rain tires. I’m comfortable with these as my rain set.
Thanks,
Billy

Didn't take me more than 5 min on eBay to find a seller pushing these knock-off ...(((coughs)))... I mean, "replica" wheels. (see attached pic below)
Porsche NEVER made a 8.5" width in the Sport Design Wheels.
Only three OE widths:
996.362.134.55 - 7.5x18
996.362.136.50 - 8x18
996.362.140.50 - 10x18

You’ve forgotten 9x18”

i run BBS wheels that are 18x9 +46 in the front with 235/40-18 and i don't rub anything (also lowered ~30mm)
with a spacer you might be able to make it work so you don't hit your struts.

That's irrelevant since Porsche was big on parts sharing and reusing parts on a newer model. Heck, my original factory wheels have a 993 part number. Some parts are verified as interchangeable, some are not. Can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I've saved money and bought the Boxster version, but it doesn't fit perfectly. Why does it have a 996 part number!?"
