hi, im new to the site. i just bought a 2001 Boxster S and love it, its time to get her some upgrades and i figured i get wheels and tires (dire need of tires)

here's the specs:

19x8.5 Front / 19x10 Rear
offset 55 Front / 10" ET42



or these wheels
18x8 Front / 18x10 Rear
offset 50 Front / 62 Rear

The fronts will fit ok with the 19's. Personally, I would add a 10mm spacer. The rears are right on with a +42 offset.

The fronts will fit ok with the 18's (ideally I would add a 10 mm spacer as well). However, the rear offset is way too high. You'll need to add a 20mm spacer.
