Does anyone have experience to know whether or not the 18" Carrera 5 spoke wheels from a 996 fit a 987 Boxster S? The wheels are 8" and 10" wide and I believe the offsets are 52 in front and 65 in the rear.

I called Wheel Enhancement as they list this wheel as fitting the 986 but do not show it as a 987 fitment. They indicated they had not had a chance to check the fit yet.

I have a '06 Boxster S being delivered (on the boat at the moment) and elected the 19" Carrera S wheel knowing I will buy 18" wheels to mount R compounds. My track friend traded in his 996 for a 2004 Cobalt Blue GT3 and the wheels in question are available for me to purchase. Any wheel experts in the house?
