18" Rim Upgrade question for 2002 Boxster S

Hello. I just purchased a full used but not abused set of rims/ tires for my 2002 Boxster S. The sizes are Front 7.5J x18 ET50 (tires 225/40/ 18) and Rear 10J x18 ET65 (tires 265/35/ 18) Turbo Twists (came off a 2002 Carrera). I called the Porsche dealer before the purchase and they said they would fit. But when I went to put on the rear rim, it rubbed on the shock. Couldn't even tighten the lugs! I've lost faith in the dealer so I am here. Has anyone upgraded the 18's with the same size configuration? I think they will work with spacers but dont want to waste $$$ buying the wrong size again. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Rich
