Another Wheel Question
I have a chance to purchase a set of 2006 Boxster S Wheels they are 8x18 57 offset front, 9X18 43 offset rear, my wheels are 7.5x18 50 offset front, 9x18 52 offset rear. What do I need to do to make these wheels fit my 2001 Boxster S? Thanks

The short answer is that they will fit fine. The fronts will be positioned slightly inward . However, the rears will be positioned a bit further out toward the fender . Depending how aggressive you want your "stance" to be, spacers can be added to augment this effect.

Thank You very much, they're a lot smarter guys on here than me.

what about some
18x 8.5 51mm 18x10 63mm What would I need to make them fit? Thank you |

You need 23mm spacers for the rear wheels, so they will fit. |

I'm going to order them now. |

Then you become this: 18x 8.5 51mm plus 7mm spacer = offset 46 18x10 63mm plus 23mm spacer = offset 40 This configuration should be perfect, but keep in mind, to use only 225/40 in front and 265/35 for rear. |
Or you could use the 987 sizes of 235/40 and 265/40.

OK, you have me confused. You recently posted in another thread that 18x11 wheels fit on a 986???
The sizes I mentioned may not be OEM fitment to a 986, but by that logic you shouldn't use wheels from a 987 either. |

Yes, thatīs right! 11 x 18 will fit on 986, but thereīs a lot of modifications to do and only with 265/35 possible. For the 986, you can not use the 987 tire sizes, their not compatible. |

In the past, I've gone on record several times indicating that 10 inch wheel is about the widest that will properly fit on a 986 boxster . |
Sorry Johnny, I meant I was confused by Spyder's comments, I know the 986/987 wheels interchange, it's done all the time (and that the O/S has to be correct).
The 987 sizes work fine, it's been done. They will be a touch taller, but not enough to cause a problem. Some may argue they fill out the wheel well a bit better. |
