Those older 911's usually have widened or stretched rear fenders that allow for wider wheels and negative offset.

Positive offset is better for handling and performance. Negative offset is just for looks. For me, a +25 offset is perfect, but the lowest offset wheel I can find for the Boxster is a +48. Otherwise, I would need to buy wheel spacers to get a smaller offset without rubbing.
