thanks for any help.
I don't think it would be a problem. Porsche doesn't seem to mess with the stud spacing as the '00 Boxster wheels will fit on the '87 928 just fine. Just measure the inside space to make sure the wheels you want to put on are not deeper than the original wheels causing the tire to hit the wheel well on a sharp turn.

Also make sure the stud goes in the same number of turns with the new wheel so it's strong enough to hold the new wheel.
