I have a set of staggered OEM Porsche 18" 997 C2 wheels I'd like to fit on my 2000 Porsche Boxster (base model)

The stats on the OEM 997 C2 wheels are as follows:
Front Wheel Size: 18x7.5 225/40
Rear Wheel Size: 18x10 265/35

FRONT WHEELS OFFSET: ET50
REAR WHEELS OFFSET: ET65

As I understand it, I will need a set of 17MM spacer and longer studs for the rear wheels and they will bolt right on and clear all suspension components and not stick out too far that they rub or hit the cars fenders??

Am I correct in assuming the front wheels will not need spacers and will bolt right on without any additional fuss.

can I please get confirmation before I pull the trigger and make the buy?
