Volk TE37s in staggered 18x8.5, 18x10.5 with a 41ET offset. Bought on eBay and guaranteed to fit Boxster. Yeah, it fits alright if I dont turn hard or have the wheel balanced. LOL.

I remounted the old 7mm spacer from the previous set of wheels to only the new right wheel and went for a test drive. The original problem on the right wheel well went away immediately BUT the left rear wheel made some noise during left hand turn probably due to flex & movements, so alignment wasn't going to fix the entire issue.

I decided to get a set of 3mm hubcentric spacers and will most likely also do an alignment after everything is on.
