There's a bunch of pix of my 986 with 18 inch Carrera lights on it on my web site.

One thing you want to avoid is having to put huge spacers on the back to accommodate 911 wheel offsets. There are all sorts of 911 styled wheels out there (same widths) that have boxster offsets and require no spacers.

Spacers really amplify any wheel imbalance or tire out-of-round that is present or develops over time, and have been known to cause premature wheel bearing wear (read $$$). If you can buy rims that don't require them for your application, you'll be happier in the long run.

BTW, I run 7mm or 1/4 inch spacers all the way around on my rims because I have them and decided to use them. They are optional though.
