This topic seems to come up a lot, and despite a search, there are not many consolidated threads that I could find that clearly explain what fits what (if there is one, please post a link and disregard). There are lots of threads about widths, spacers and offset, so I wonder if a sticky might be in order with the following consolidated information so we're all not researching specific wheels sizes and consulting online offset calculators:
Year of 986
Year/Model of car the new wheels came from
Spacer size used F/R (if applicable)
Tire size used F/R
Modifications (if applicable)
Picture of set-up
As an bad example (not a real case
):
1998 Boxster
2012 Carrera S
5MM front 10MM rear
215/55/18 front 205/50/18 rear
Rolled fender lips and longer studs in rear
Just a thought!
