Spacers: 2001 Boxster base

[dordonio]

Thanks to all for your insight. i did a little research and found the following info:

Turbo look wheels:
Front wheels are 18 x 8.5 with a 40 offset. Tire 225/40/18
Rear wheels are 18 x 10.5with a 52 offset. Tire 265/35/18

Any spacer recommendations from my 986 brothers and sisters would be much appreciated.

Your wheel measurements may be wrong. I have a 2001 with factory turbo look wheels. I'm thinking about adding some spacers too. My wheels specs are:

F = 7.5 x 18 ET 50
R = 9.0 x 18 ET 52

violametallic-S used 18mm in the front and 23mm in the rear. He said he has 7.5 and 9.0 widths but didn't confirm the offsets. Check out the pics in his link.

18 and 23 looks great when the car is lowered. I don't want to lower my car so maybe 7mm and 15mm might be ok.
