Do these wheels fit my 986?

Hi all,

I have been lucky to purchase a nice 1997 986 boxster!

With the temperatures dropping, I want to switch to winter tires. I got a chance to buy these 987 wheels and tires, but I'm not sure if they will fit my 986. They are tires from the 987 I believe.

This is the information

Front
6.5Jx17 ET55
205/55 r17

Back
8Jx17 ET40
235/50 R17

From my research, it is not so much a problem of the width but that the height (diameter) is more than is advised. Anyone has experience with these tires?

If they would not fit because of the diameter, fitting smaller tires (e.g. 205/50 r17 and 235/45 R17) would do the trick?
