another wheel fitment thread - 997 18 inchers on o 99 boxster

I've looked at various threads that come up in the search function, and I think I have this figured out, just looking for a little confirmation from someone before I pull the trigger on these.

MY CAR
1999 Boxster with factory 17 inchers.

Wheels/Tires I'm hoping to fit

Set of wheels from a 997
FRONTS - 18 x 8 with a ET of 57, tires = 235/40-18
REARS - 18 x 10 with a ET of 58, tires = 265/40-18

Based on my searching, I think the rears will fit with a 12-15 mm spacer, and tie down the brake cables. Am I on track? I think I need tires with an aspect ratio of 35 ideally, but I'm hoping the 40 ratio tires work.

What about the fronts? I haven't found as much info on those.

These are the style wheels I'm looking at acquiring.
