Are Boxster (987) and Cayman wheels compatible?
 
I have a 2005 Boxster S (987) and am looking for a set of wheels for autocross. I found a set of 18" Cayman wheels with 235/40/18 and 265/40/18 Michelins (6 miles on them-new!) for $1500. Will these fit without spacers????

Thanks

I figured someone else would answer this one by now, but yes. Those are the exact dimensions of the standard issue 987 S wheels (the 18s).

I'm starting to see some of the 07 Boxsters be specced on dealer lots with the Cayman S wheels. Kind of a shame on account of them being so ugly.

I can speak from experience. I have an 05 Boxster S and use the Cayman S (18") wheels as my track wheels - plug and play.

An addendum.
 
What tire sizes and tires are you using on the 18" wheels, and what tire pressures do you run?

Thanks!

would the caymen or 987 wheels fit on a 986?

I really like the stock Cayman 17" wheels. If they came in 18" I'd probably be somewhat interested.

Esoril, here is a great wheel chart right from Porsche's web-site:
