Bought these wheels yesterday

[Porsche Pete]

Cool...Gonna look awesome on the Boxster...Should also fill the arches up nicely
Doing away with the Victor centre badges and have just bought some nice black Porsche centres..
Waiting for a fine day to get outside..weather in UK has turned crap again !!
Going to do a disc change, along with pads, stainless lines and brake fluid change to Ate blue while the wheels are off..
Oh and also ordered up some black chrome wheel nut caps to complete the look

Will keep you posted.....Tyres are Falken F453s

This setup gave about 8mm clearance from the strut so I believe about 20mm spacer would be better. If you try that & have tire clearance issues you can still do like I did & sell the 285's & run the ideal size which is the 265 width.

Hi BYprodriver,

I have the same question I bought for my Boxster 2.7 2000 the same pack of Carrera Wheels BBS 18'''
Front 7.5 ET 50 tire 225/40
Rear 10 ET 65 Tire 265/35 Old Topic same question sorry , but I need to clarify****


In the front I don't have any problem
In the Rear even with a 20 MM Spacer it looks very close from the suspension :/ (few mm) is that OK ??

Appreciate any HELP !!!!
