Default Will These Wheels Fit??

Hello,
I have a 02 Boxster S with the stock 17 inch wheels. I believe the stock offset for these cars are ideal around 45ish but I was wondering if it’d be possible to run wheels with a 30mm offset. I talked to a guy over at the wheel shop and he believes it should work but he’s not 100% sure.

I have OZ that are on the rear 18 x 10 ET40 and this is barely OK (titrs are close to the shocks). ET35 would be better, and ET30 fine, but, then the problem could be at the "other end" !
By the way, this is an easy to solve, as adding a 5mm spacer is always easy.
a 10 could be close to stick out ! (depending on your tires dimensions, and for sure of your rim size (9.5 would probably be fine, but 11 for sure would be outside !)
Verify some more will all dimensions !

I should have probably been a bit more clear, the wheels have an original offset (ET45). I need adapters to make the wheels fit because the wheels are 5x112’s. The added spacers make the offset (ET30). The demensions are 18x8.5. Do you think I’ll have an issue mounting these?
