Stock turbo twists are 18x9 on a Boxster. If you have 18x10's, they're off of a Carrera, or they're replicas.

To the original poster, what is the offset on those 18x10 five spoke Carrera replicas? There are a couple different offsets for 911 (widebody and narrowbody) and that will determine if they will fit.

I've seen 18x10's with around a 65mm offset, which moves the wheel one inch closer to the rear strut than the stock 18x9 wheel. That may or may not fit, depending on the tire. You can fix it with a spacer.

I've also seen 18x10's with a really low offset, in the range of 40mm which moves the wheel out towards the fender by an inch. It fits, but in my opinion looks kind of silly.

If you tell me the offset I can tell you if they're likely to fit.
