the boxster wheels should be 52 offset, so you will need 20mm spacers on all 4 wheels.

Just remember, it's simple math. Subtract the offset your going with from the offset you have and then you get the spacer amount.

1" spacers work fine. I bought a pair right here at Pelican, and they work just great.

You HAVE to use HUBCENTERIC spacers. Concentric wont fit over the lip on the hub.
and 1 1/4" will push them out too far and you will end up rubbing/slicing your wheel.

Porsche uses a unique lug pattern (5 x 130mm) that no other manufacturer uses. The spacers must be Porsche specific, or they will not work.
