You're welcome. It's not rocket science if you know the basics.

I should probably rephrase my comments on 911 wheels. The fronts generally work as the widths and offsets are similar between the 911 & Boxster. The rears aren't generally close. 911 rears can come in 10" and 11" variations. Both have a wild offset (I think 36mm IIRC). The offset is the reason 911 rear wheels are more difficult to use on a Boxster. People are always asking if the 11" rears will work on a Boxster. For a long time the pat answer was no, but a few members have somehow made it work. You just get into lots of hoop jumping to make it work. You're miles ahead by buying the 987 wheels and just slapping them on.
