Default Any concerns with 996 C2 9” rims on ‘99 Boxster?

I’ve fitted 17” 9” rear rims from a 996 C2 to my ‘99 Boxster. I’m aware that the offset and size on the 9” rims means that the rims project further into the wheel well than the 8.5” OE wheels but can’t see any obvious fit issues on a drive. Is there any issue with spirited driving? Should I fit spacers?

I installed the 17x9 BBS 10 spokes on the rear of my '98 and needed a 3mm spacer to keep it from touching the shock. Other than that, no issues.
