I was considering picking up a set of used 996 TT wheels, but I am not sure if the offset on the 996 TT is the same or not as the 2001 Boxster S?

Anyone know if the 18x11 from the 996TT has the same offset as the normal 2001 Boxster S, or will I have to run with large spacers to make them clear the suspension?
Standard Boxster 18X9 has 52mm offset. 996 18X10 has 65mm offset. I don't know what the 11" wheel offset is but I'm guessing you will need minimum 1" spacer & frequent wheel bearing replacement.
