Second Answer: 5x130 is correct size pattern for Boxster hub/wheel bolts. If OZ wheels are 114.3 dia then that is correct right SIZE adapter BUT image shows 5 stud where as description says 4 stud. Neither explains there is a difference to help you know which is correct. As to style, yes that set-up will act as a 1" spacers. That design 'spacer' is better b/c you would never want to use 1" 'sandwich' style spacers as longer wheel bolts, even if correct length & pattern matched, could not adequately handle the load. No idea on the quality of those and with any spacer over 5mm you really want them hub-centric...
My recommendation... particularly since track focused, you want to keep the set-up as simple as possible. Buy 17" wheels that fit w/ the correct offset and wheel pattern to begin with and avoid spacers all together. At very least, buy a complete package deal from one reputable vendor from start. Then proper fit is on them to make right. Otherwise not only might you be compromising safety but you could be stuck trying to return (not likely) or sell at a loss ill-fitting parts bought wrong.
Good luck  |
Thank you a lot. I think you convinced me to go for 17'', I could have bigger brakes and I think I won't add too much weight compared to 16''.
I really want to install some non-Porsche wheels because I doubt there are some Porsche 17'' wheels that are comparable in weight with Ultraleggera and similiar wheels. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Or maybe there are some lightweight wheels that would fit Porsche PCD 130x5?
Can you please suggest what 'complete package deal from one reputable vendor' would be? Would that allow me to fit OZ Ultraleggera?
