The offset would go from 55 to 67. You seem to have much more tire/wheel knowledge than I. Do you think these will fit okay?

Well, to begin with, in my opinion 295 is too wide a tire for any application regarding a 986 boxster; let alone for winter use. As far as offset in concern, +67 (I suspect these are 996 wheels) is way too high for your vehicle. Therefore, if you're determined to use them, then you're going to have to bring the offset down to around +45, and replace the tires with something more suitable . In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find much in the area of 19 inch winter tires. Personally, I would stick with a 17 inch wheel package for winter driving .
