Thanks Guys.
I found out that they, in fact, do not fit. Boxster wheels fit fine in the front on a 996, but the rears have a larger offset on a Boxster,and as a result, will likelt rub on the rear when applied to 996. Kinesis confirmed this info.
Sooo...I have since found a set specific Kinesis K18's that fit my 996 perfectly. I will post offset and fitment info when they arrive.
Thanks!
