This setup gave about 8mm clearance from the strut so I believe about 20mm spacer would be better. If you try that & have tire clearance issues you can still do like I did & sell the 285's & run the ideal size which is the 265 width.
Hi BYprodriver,

I have the same question I bought for my Boxster 2.7 2000 the same pack of Carrera Wheels BBS 18'''
Front 7.5 ET 50 tire 225/40
Rear 10 ET 65 Tire 265/35 Old Topic same question sorry , but I need to clarify****


In the front I don't have any problem
In the Rear even with a 20 MM Spacer it looks very close from the suspension :/ (few mm) is that OK ??

Appreciate any HELP !!!!
