8 x 18 ET 50 (Front)
10 x 18 ET 65 (Rear)
I intend to use the same size tires that i have on my existing Rims...
225 x 40 x 18 (Front)
265 x 35x 18 (Rear)
If ET 65 is too far off or in, Would a use of Spacers be ideal and How much is needed?
Thanks once again for any input.

I just did this on my '02 Boxster S. Same tire sizes, same wheel sizes and offsets, with the exception being the fronts on mine were 7 1/2" instead of 8. The fronts fit perfectly with no spacers. The backs fit perfectly using 20mm spacers. I can't see 15mm spacers working, at least not on my car. The inside of the wheel or tire would almost certainly hit the strut with anything less than 20mm. It's really tight in there. You'll also have to zip tie your parking brake cable to the lower support to keep it from rubbing on the forward inner edge of the tire. It's worth it though, it really looks great.
