They should be fine, at least from all the research I did recently. What size tires are you putting on them?

I have a 2000 'S' and just put 2006 Boxster 18's on mine with offset 57mm and 43mm. When I was looking for rims/wheels a saw that rear offsets up to 48mm fit (BBS wheel). My manual called for the same as yours (50 and 52).

I had a set of 17" rims from a cayman put on my 01 986. They fit, except the rears were beautifully further out and while the front now looks sunken in, by comparison. Ended up putting in spacers in front to balance out the look.

I did find the car now turn in less quick, but feels more surefooted with wider tracks.
