10inch Rears Offset Ideas?

[panameras]

Got a set of Turbo style wheels from an 911 to go on my Boxster S.

18x8.5 et52

18x10 et65

now as I understand the front ones will bolt on no problem. but I would need spacers for the rear. question is what size spacers?

I don't mind bring the wheels closer to the guards a little more than factory setting. Not sure if theres any advantage having a wider rear track only. maybe should get spacers for the front too to match the rear?

50? 47? 45?

Thanks.

I have a 2001 986 lowered with HR springs and my rear wheels are 18 x 10 et 65 and I run 21mm spacers in the rear.

I tried 15mm and 18mm first and I had issues with the strut hitting with those, the 21 work great for me. You will also need longer wheel bolts.

The ideal rear offset for a 10" rim is ET47. ET 65 is narrow body (aka non turbo/turbo look (C4S)). I run 993 Turbo hollow spokes in wide body fitment which is 18x10 ET40 and, to be honest ,it is a too too far out. ET45 would be perfect in my opinion.

You could run a 20mm spacer on an ET65 wheel, but to me, thats not the greatest idea. 996 Turbo wheels, by the way, are 18x11 in the rear, which absolutely does not fit on a 986 Boxster.

To make life easy, I would search for ET45 or ET47 10" rears and avoid spacers.

I am running a 10 1/2" rear wheel with a 47mm offset and they fit under the fenders perfect.

Don't want to start a new thread so I will just ask here... I'm looking to get a set of (used) wheels of following specs:

19X8 52P FRONT

19X11 45P REARS

Would these rear wheels fit a 986 at all? Maybe with narrower tyres?

Appreciate any help.

You will need to zip tie the e-brake cables to the suspension arm & use spacers on an 11" rear wheel. May stick beyond fender a bit...

Unless you are willing to widen (roll) your rear fenders the 11" will NOT fit
I have 10" rims from a Carrera in the rear (with spacers) and they barely fit
There is no way you can fit an 11" in there without major modifications
