Advice on 18x10 / 18x8 rims and tires for 99 Boxster
 
Looking at some different rims for my 1999 986. I came across a set of 2003 5 spoke with tires.

The rim sizes are 18x8 front and 18x10 rear
The tires are 225 40 18 fronts & 285 35 18 rears.

I currently have the stock 17" twists installed. With these sizes, would I need spacers and if so, what size?

Would I be better off with smaller tires in the rear? And lastly, would I need to change camber or anything of the sort with wheels this wide?
By the way, just for street driving.

Any ideas?

Spacers will depend on the wheel offsets
Standard 18's are 265/35 rears

Thanks JayG. For the rears, the wheels are a 65mm offset. I'm thinking 20mm spacer or even 25mm?

I have these tires. And I calculated that I needed a 35mm spacers in the back.
There are some calculators online for it.
Can't remember how much in front.

I decided to buy some others and my set is for sale at the moment.
