Boxster 986 Wheel Size

Can I run an 18" 10"wide ET64 wheel on the rear of my 2001 Boxster S 986? Using 265/35x18 tires. The wheels came off of a 928 S.

I am running 18* x 10" on a 986 Boxster base (1998). The rim to strut clearance is only about 10 mm to keep the tire inside the fender lip. I started with 265/35R 18 Super steel which came with the wheels. The belly was slightly narrower than the rim flange am the wear was uneven. After one separated I replaced with same brand 275/35R 18. I'm quite happy with them. I can't speak for other brands, and the 265 width is frequently recommended for 18" x 10", but for me 275 is a better match
