With a 15-20mm spacer needed the wheels are just gonna sit out too far..
Not a good look me thinks.!!!!
That darn ET65 is just toooooooooo big for a Boxster with 10" rims

So bit of a waste of a journey...but a learning curve methinks.. Didnt like the look of the 30 profile rubber on the rears too..

So going to stick with 40 profile tyres front and rear.....Sick of looking at wheels now??
Have sold my originals so dont want to hold the buyer up too long.

Have decided to go for the OZ Alleggerita HLT Titanuim Tech
Fronts
8J with 235/40 18 ET50

rears
10J with 265/40 18 ET40

Bit more money than i wanted to spend..but should make a few bucks on the sale of
the Lightweights hopefully.. Thinking of looking around 1400$ in your currency..
The Pirelli Tyres are virtualy brand new too

Has anyone got the Oz wheels fitted ?? Should look nice on an Artic Silver Boxster





I'm running 10" rears 285/35 with 65 offset and 17mm spacers
Looks and works great
Planning to go up to 21mm for wider look
And that's on lowered suspension by about 1"
