I've spent a lot of time calculating wheels in the past to make them fit. Johnny Danger seems to be wheel guru in here, I would have some chats with him before you order another set of rims!
I'm beginning to wonder if he's not using an 11 inch wheel ? Even though an 11 inch is not designed to fit a 986 boxster, given the very high offset of the wheel and the fact that the vehicle is at factory ride height, it could conceivably fit. That might explain why it's outside of the wheel well ?
