Would these wheels work on my Box S without useing spacers?
I'm interested in these wheels for my 2003 Boxster S. Will they fit properly without using spacers?
Specifications: Size: 19x8.5 Front / 19x9.5 Rear Bolt Pattern: 5x130 Finish: Black Machined Face Offset: 55 Front / 46 Rear Hubcentric: 71.6 Thanks! |
I don't know but they look good to me ;)
|
The rear offset of 46 might be a bit close - it might rub on the ebrake cable. But it should work. At worse, a 5mm spacer may be required.
The fronts should be fine. |
Not enough details.
car lowered? What tire width you want to run? If car is not lowered you should be fine with 285 and zip ties on ebrake If it's lowered it might be tight for 285 but maybe 265 In front you may need 5 mm spacer so it won't look funny with very aggressive rear offset |
Car currently has the stock suspension, but I am looking at this setup.
Boxster Euro Suspension Kit (ROW M030):Suncoast Porsche Parts & Accessories So the car will get lowered somewhat. I'm not sure what tire size to run on the front and back. Suggestions on that would be greatly appreciated too. |
Trying to get my ducks in a row before I purchase these wheels. I'm definitely getting the aboved mention suspension kit.
If they will work with that suspension, spacers needed? Tires sizes front and back, brand? Thanks. |
they should fit fine with the row kit . i got a 10" rear wheel with a 275 tire on the row kit no problem .

What if I didn't use the springs from the ROW M030 kit, that would keep my car at stock hide height, correct? I really need some help here fellas on my questions..
Thanks. |
You'll be just fine mate, press on!
- RoW M30 here - Offset ET40 both rear and front - 235/ on the 19*8.5 front - 265/ on 19*9.5 rear (needs a 10mm spacer... but for the look only, not because it touches anything lol) No No Rubbing! http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/01a1418496788.jpg |

Ok, here is what I have come up with using these wheels and the ROW M030 suspension kit.
235/35R19 tires for the front. 265/30R19 tires for the rear. Using no spacers. What do you think? |
Those are the very same sizes I have on mine (Dunlop direzza DZ10 series)
The wheels you spotted are killer btw. I'd pick this kit this weekend if I were you. That is going to hurt bad ($-wise) but believe me you'll have a totally different looking ride!!! And it handles/feels so much better (don't believe those who tells you it won't). If you end up adding that 10mm spacers on the rear then yes to your question... you'll need +10mm longer lugs bolts |

I looked up Dunlop Direzza tires, seems they moved to the DZ102 series now. They are a bit cheaper then the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 I am looking at, but I think I'm willing to pay the extra cost for those tires. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?width=265%2F&ratio=30&diamet er=19&performance=ALL I'm getting a set of Winter tires for my current wheels, so I would like to get the most performance out of the Summer tires, but still at a reasonable cost. |
No worries, happy to share if this helps another
Reasonable cost tires does not exist I'm afraid - unless, and unlike myself, you ARE rich. Makes it twice worst when you are overseas (read imported). Nearly twice the price... especially in the 19/20/21" series Results are incredible tho ;) |
I looked around the forums for more pictures of your car. Is there a post where I can see more of your car or could you post some pics here? I'd really like to see the front bumper and I think I saw one picture with a wing on the back? I'm looking for a nice wing too.
|
I'm going with this wheel here.
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/Nzc1WDc3NQ...Tjlv3/$_12.JPG I'm thinking black lug bolts. What do you guys think? |
I like these wheels a lot. I know cuz I've seen them on a Boxster here. I know where he parks his car so I'll try to snap a pic for you if I pass in this area this week (black car, exact same wheels)
Nice xmas gift you are getting there ;) |
I just looked at the offset on the rear wheels I have now. The offset on them is 47 and the wheels are 9" wide and have been running 255/40R17 tires on them with no clearance issue.
These new rear wheels have a 46 offset, but are 9.5" wide and are 19" vs. my current 17". I'm planning on running 265/30R19 tires. Mind you I am going to install the ROW M030 suspension kit. Spacers for the rears or not? |
