What will be a good offset that clears everything (wheel, struts etc) for an 18 x 8.5 Front and 18 x 10 Rear (10" are the only available for deep concave)
sorry for asking too much. its because i will have no chance to try it because i will just order online. The 808 and Forgestar F14 are very similar looking eh?
@JD - that champion rs98 is very very nice.. though the price ($5000?) made it unatrractive for my wallet  |
Honestly, I think a lightweight 16" with top shelf rubber are the best size for the 986 if you want your car to go fast, turn faster, and ride smoothly -- definitely if its a non-S engine. But few companies makes 16 or 17 wheels, in Porsche fit, that really fill out the wheel well in a way that looks natural. So 18" is the best "in-between" consideration. A light weight 19", not requiring rear wheel spacers, is also good but im my opinion makes the car look out of proportion without a larger front bumper and skirting. That's my one big complaint about all the new 981 Boxsters, the wheel well opening is now so big that anything but a 19" or even 20" wheel looks like the car is on training wheels. And these SUV sized wheels on a car that has not really swelled in its size like the Carrera has looks like one of those Match box cars with the bling bling wheels. You can practically see right through the whole wheel to the other side of the car. More rubber is better for sports cars. Skinny tires are for Hot Import Nights car shows.
