(new here) Tire/Rim Fit - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I have a 2001 Boxster which she's currently sits on 17" standard rims. My friend who ownes a 05' Turbo Convert. is in the process of getting new HRE's and wants to off-load his stock 18" rims. I'm wondering if the lug fitment is the same and or if these will be too wide?!

Thanks!!

If its the 18X11 wheels then it wont fit. The biggest I've ever seen fit a Boxster is a 18X10.5.

Really all depends on wheel size and offset. If the 18x8 and 18x10 it can work. If you have the ET 40 or ET47 no problem, if the ET65 you will need spacers. Front should be around ET50.

Honestly, since its your friend, Id try and put them on with some spacers and see if they fit. Im sure no ones tried, they may stick out past your wheels well, maybe not. They may rub your suspension, maybe not, they may or may not clear your brakes. Id just put them on and see, make sure you have at least 7mm spacers. I know those run a 305 tire and thats monsterous compared to my 275's (285's if I had known earlier).
