I have been running a set of Oz HLT Alleggerita wheels on my 986S for a while now, and they have been great.

I couldn’t quite match the factory offsets, but took the recommended ‘wider rear’ set for the car.

Living with them for a while I’ve noticed the front looks to be a slightly narrower track now than it used to be.

Can I correct this with spacers to match the original factory spec, and if so any idea on what size please?

Wheel sizes are 8x18 et50 front, and 9x18 et43 rear.

Not 100% sure what you are asking, but....

OE 18s on the 986 could have been 8J ET 50 for the BBS 'Carrera' wheel (5 narrow spokes) or 8J ET 52 for the rest, so you are as per factory already?
(though technically AFAIK the 986 had 7.5J fronts with the 9J rears of each/every factory wheel)
