Is it possible? I would like to run 245 up front and 285 in the back.

Is it possible? What width and offset should I ask for?

thank you so much in advance.

I have looked into this in the past. I believe Enkei makes RPF1 rims for the BMW's, which use 5x120 bolt pattern. The only type of adapter available for Porsche's just happen to be 5x130 to 5x120.

With the BMW Bolt Pattern Adapter installed on your car, the RPF1's would fit, but that would create other problems.

1. The adapter also acts as a large spacer. The wheels might stick out of the body a bit.
2. They do not make the wheel in the same width for rear wheels. I think the widest they make them is 8.5-9 inch. Rear should be 9.5-10 inch. So handling will be compromised.

Enkei does make other light weight wheels for the Boxster. The NT03+M. It is stronger than the RPF1 and more durable so it is a bit heavier, but still one of the lightest wheels you can get for the Boxster using the Porsche 5x130 bolt pattern.
