I have Boxster alloys. They all need spacers. But it does spoil the handling to some degree. You should fit 968 caster mounts & do a full wheel alignment or the tram-lining will be bad. If you already have design 90's I'd stick with them. Get them refurbed with new centers & they will look a lot better.

You can fit the Cup1s from a 968 directly without spacers but as mentioned anything over 16" then you should change to 968 castor bushes.
