10inch Rears Offset Ideas?

[jazzmcdaddy]

I am running a 10 1/2" rear wheel with a 47mm offset and they fit under the fenders perfect.

Don't want to start a new thread so I will just ask here... I'm looking to get a set of (used) wheels of following specs:

19X8 52P FRONT

19X11 45P REARS

Would these rear wheels fit a 986 at all? Maybe with narrower tyres?

Appreciate any help.

You will need to zip tie the e-brake cables to the suspension arm & use spacers on an 11" rear wheel. May stick beyond fender a bit...

I run 10s on the back of mine with et47...I've yet to see anyone fit 11s on their car, especially at a lowered ride height. You'd likely need to give your car the "off road" look to fit larger under the fenders or look like this guy.

+1 on the e-brake cables...you'll need to tie them back.

I've got the Porsche 986 Tequipment brochure.

The OE wheels for

Front 8 x 18 offset 50
Rear 10 x 18 offset 47

This is the Turbo Look II as well as the SportTechno rims.

That should give u a good idea what the Porsche recommendation for 10" x 18 rears should be.

If we started charging a dollar for every time someone asked if an 11 inch wheel would fit on a 986 boxster, we could hold a raffle at the end of the year ! Once again, regardless of offset, no way, no how will an 11 inch wheel fit on a 986 boxster. Just think, we could set aside an IMS slush fund !

Not that I am interested in fitting an 11in wheel on a Boxster. But for the sakes of science or posterity even, what are the limiting factors? Would a wide-body Boxster allow for such a thing? or is it in the suspension?

I have 10.5s on the back of mine, and with it lowered substantially there is scrubbing on corners unfortunately.

I very much doubt you could fit anything over 9.5 without rolling your guards, just based on how close mine are considering i have rolled and slightly pumped my rear guards and I STILL scrub

My rim specifications:

Rims Size: 19 X 8.5" front & 19 X 10.5" rear
Offset: 45 mm front & 43 mm rear




I guess with a bit of guard massaging you could fit 11s, but it would be a real struggle.

Dang, that's a scraper!!

Randall, Johnny, I bow my head in shame

Scrap the idea about creating an IMS "slush fund", let's put it toward establishing a psychiatric program for members who can't grasp the limitations of wheel fitment ....

Unless you are willing to widen (roll) your rear fenders the 11" will NOT fit
I have 10" rims from a Carrera in the rear (with spacers) and they barely fit
There is no way you can fit an 11" in there without major modifications

10X18 Carrera III running with a 21mm Spacer:




But I'm SURE I can reduce it to a 15mm - there seems to be at least 1-1.5cm before the wheel would touch the strut.

Plan is to reduce the rears to a 15mm and put the 21's (currently 25) on the front

Gary, the base of your Porsche crests in your center caps should be pointing toward your valve stems. Let's get this serious infraction corrected immediately before someone from local Porsche club sees this picture or your car. :dance:

Since they drive on the wrong side of the road over there, it would only make sense that they would have their center caps pointing in the wrong direction as well.
