Rim Fitment 2002 S
 

Folks, I have a chance on the following rims and was wondering how well the fit would be and what spacers I would need"


Quality meets all TUV, DOT, JWL, VIA standards. Made in Italy
Finish: silver finish with polished lip
Rims Size: 18 X 8.0" front & 18 X 10.0" rear
Bolt Pattern: 5 X 130
Offset: 52mm front & 65 mm rear
Quantity: Set of four wheels and caps

Brand: New Classic mesh style wheels / Rims and Kumho Ectsa SPT tires

Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Looks like the rears ofset is not a go ... guess I'll have to pass ... :(

you will need rear spacers

Thanks for the reply!

I found out they need to be 20 mm and will need longer bolts and a bit of grinding & ty-wrapping ... Too much trouble and a possible safety issue as well.

Ok, understood
Just for the record: If my memory serves me well you would actually need 25mm spacers (and even longer bolts)

Do we need to make a sticky that states 11" 65mm wheels will not work on a Box?

No offense to you Jaak, this is just the 3rd thread this week on the topic.

None taken ... mine was 10" 65mm ...... :D


Issue is that several publications such as Bentley Manual state that it should "fit". They do not add that shimms & grinding & ty-wraps are required in order for them to "maybe" fit.

What I am looking for is a 18 inch rim (sport 2 type) that is basically bolt in without the extra. I had order from a PCA type in Alabama who shipped via Usless Parcel Service that lost 3 of the four and shipped the fourth to a wrong address three times .... :eek:

I lost out on a good deal ... it also came with almost new tires as well .... :mad:

Actually, what would be the most helpful, in all seriousness, would be a sticky that lists the wheel sizes and offsets that WILL fit a 986/986S/987/987S, as well as the size of any spacers needed for a given application and the length of any longer-than stock wheel bolts needed. I'm sure it would be a long list (probably more akin to a spreadsheet), but it would cut down on these threads. Just a thought.

I think that's a good idea.
Before we turn this into a full blown science project maybe we could make a sticky thread where everyone can post who has non OEM rim sizes on his Box. He should post the rims size together with spacer a bolt sizes
When we have gathered enough information we can start with the spreadsheet project.

if you change your mind Jaak, I have HR 23mm spacers that I dont need and will sell cheap
