!8 Inch Wheels
 
Hi

Can someone tell me if 18 inch wheels that came from a 2005 boxster S would fit without an issues on a 2000 Boxster s?

Mate, I got 19" rims on a old '97 Boxster with ET50 and they fit just as if the car was designed to have these ;) 18" will fit for sure given the rear are not more than 10 inches wide.

Need to know what the offsets are ?

not sure what the offset is I haven;t looked at my original setup' I do know that the 2005 boxster wheels are 8 inches wide in front and 9 in the rear by 18 inch diameter or course.

The 987 platform vehicles typically have higher offset wheels . It's very likely that they will fit, however, they may require spacers in order to augment the fitment .

I got the rims today they are 8inch wide 57mm offset for the front and the back are 9 inch 43 offset will these fit on a 2000 boxster S without having to use spacers?

The front offset is quite high, I would add at least a 10 mm spacer in order to move the wheel out a bit . As far as the rears are concerned, they'll fit ok . However, you probably won't be happy with the look or stance they produce . So, I would add a 10 mm spacer as well .

Thanks for the reply I will keep you posted on how they fit when I put them on. Just one more thing where would be the best place to get spacers?

There are numerous sources to buy them from online, to include Ebay . Just make sure that they are Porsche specific/hubcentric with the correct length lug bolts .
