i have the same setup brad. or close. i have 2"/3" wider fenders with 17x7ET55 and 17x8.5ET48 2001 boxster rims. i had to use 2" spacers in the rear and 1.5" in the front. both could use to come out just a little more too. i am not happy with considering the use of spacers this large, but without abuse they should be fine. since i have upgraded my engine to 175HP and will be giving the car some abuse now, i am swapping the rear end to a 951 suspension which widens the track 1.75" and will drop to a 3/8" spacer.
so i will have 2" spacers for sale soon.
i can beat the $200 price, but not by much. i bought mine off ebay and found that they used bolts instead of studs so i paid a machine shop to put nice hefty studs in them for me. oh, i also went with CSP drums drilled from blank to the 5x130. those will be for sale by the end of the year as well. you can always contact CSP and order some. they were around $150 shipped. go with discs in the front. i went with ghia discs (which will come off soon since i am going 951 all the way around). they are very affordable.
