Got it on the track after O2 in and ran very well. Now I have to get use to the car after 6 years racing with the 944!

You'll be fine. I took a multi time 944Spec champ and put him in a BoxsterSpec. He promptly won a championship in BoxsterSpec

These cars move a lot under braking.. rear wheel steering, so be aware of that.

and.. you will end up running the car square I see it's narrow front right now. Your 944 was square, the Boxster is also.

The fast east coast guys are all square, the fast TX guys? square, the fast west coast guys? square.

If I use stock 8.5 x 17" rims with 255/40-17 all around do I need front spacers?

No spacer needed. In fact you may rub the outer of the tire on the fender lip with a spacer.

It all depends on the tire, some run wide. I have most recently run a 245/40-17 Hoosier R7 on an 8.5" et 50 on the front. No spacer, no rubbing.
