I'm puzzled as to what offset, bolt pattern, etc. I need for 18 inch rims on my 97 boxster. I know absolutely nothing about rims and need to learn all I can before I go shopping.

I also see that some owners have put 18's on their 97 and have no problems, but TSB's have been released saying this size rim or larger causes premature bearing failure.

Any info you all can provide to educate me on wheel sizes, offsets, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
