They won't fit. The bolt pattern for your 924 is 5x130mm. A 9" is too wide for the front, also. 18s are a little much for a 924. A set of 17x7.5 wheels would look nice and fit well. Look for offsets around 50mm.

thanks for your reply but i will also be using low profil tires which are really thin. you basically don't see them only the rim. will it still be possible to put another pair of 19in on that are thinner in the front or not.

i meant 18in with the same bolt pattern and 7.5 width

To check if the wheel size will fit you could try this app: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

I have 235/40-17 on the rear and 215/45-17 at the front. No issues at all. If u could find 225/30-18 tires for your car they would actually be 4,5% smaller than my wheels.
