What size are your wheels and offset Gerain? There are lots of different sizes of 18" Porsche wheels out there. I think the ones the OP is referring to are these (Early 996):






My rear Boxster (Victor Equipment Aftermarket) 18s are 9x18 ET49
These wheels are an inch wider. (Front side of wheels aligned)



I have read that they are best with an 18mm spacer (correcting to the prescribed Boxster off-set of 47mm for the 10x18s). From what I have read, the fronts are good.

I'm no expert, but I have a few wheels laying around and Google. Really need the full description of Joel's wheels to be sure.
