P-O-P, I agree with you. Perhaps I should have been more clear on the intended mission of the car. It will see several track days a year here - Atlantic Motorsport Park Official Website
While I agree that if you can lock up the tires, you have enough braking power, the issue with the NA brakes is heat dissipation / fading. Corner 9 at AMP is the killer on NA brakes, and why I'm considering the S2 brakes. Add to that more HP (the 3.0l motor), I feel the NA brakes will be inadequate.
I really do appreciate the feedback and discussion, its very valiable. However, my question was a technical one, Can I do it and keep the early offset? Wheels are 17"X7 & 17X9 turbo twists (ET23 &ET15)

Ok, now that all the facts are revealed there is a good solution.
You can swap the S2 brake discs, calipers and spindles and those 17in wheels will clear nicely. You will need struts from any turbo or S2 as the spindle attachment is different. As you are keeping the early offset A-arms (it is only these that determine the offset), you will also need camber plates fitted to dial the camber back.
As you are tracking I assume you will be changing the struts and fitting camber plates anyway so that shouldn't be an extra expense.
