Takeoffs from my '08 Boxster S. Minty fresh condition. Located in Tennesse, but can ship. Tires are Continental Sport Contact 3s.

Will these fit a 986 (1998)? How much life is left in the tires?

The fronts are in very good shape, rears are 50-60%. The bolt patterns are the same, and I did a little research and it appears that the wheels should fit fine, but you may want to look for yourself as well.

The specs on these wheels are front 8 x 18 with 57 mm offset and rear 9 x 18 with 43 mm offset. Which wheels does your car have? If you can find out your wheel specs, this tool will tell you if spacers are required: 1010TIRES.COM - Wheel Offset Calculator

These wheels haven't been mounted on the car since we've had it. The previous owner (my father, actually) had the dealership mount a set of 19" Porsche Sport Designs on the car before he picked it up, so I don't have pics of the wheels on my actual car. However, I found a few pics of 987s and 986s in different colors wearing these wheels.
