Another Rim size question

[brjak]

I know this question maybe basic to some. but for me I can't figure it out. I figure the answer is yes. but just want to make sure.

I am buying some porsche rims.

I have stock turbo twists 17" I am buying stock boxster S rims 17"

sizes:

FRONT 6.5 JX 17H2 OFFSET 55MM
REAR 8J X 17H2 OFFSET 40MM

Will my current almost tires fit these rims? 205/50R17 and 255/40R17.

thx

Front tires are a good fit. The rear tires are pushing beyond the recommended size for an 8" width wheel.

Install them. After you have worn out the center of the tire and get less traction go get the proper size tire for that rim, which are 225, 235 ideal and 245 max.

Do the rims have to be staggered ? I have the option of 18" but all four of the are 8.5x18. with 255/55/18 tires.
