I wouldn't recommend you "trust in Allen" as I am new to the Boxster game and learning all the time. I would recommend to do some more searching on your own on ebay as there are a number of of mfg. making spacers. I have seen spacers of 3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 15mm and even some up to one inch. Spend some more time looking and listen to the Dangerous one and some of the other more experienced posters have to say.

Be sure to keep us posted on what you decide on and then the results. I have had no issues mounting 15mm spacers all around. Since the rear wheel is wider than the front anyway, I still maintain the rear wider than the front look, just that they all are 15mm out further than stock. Does make the cornering even better. I have 17" stock 'windmill' 5 spoke wheels that look like they could have been designed by Chip Foose.

Party on! AKL :dance:
