I know that you think that 10.5 is too wide. With your expertise, would it be possible to let me know what the best offset is? Can you also let me know what the offset would be for an 11" wide rim?

Thanks so much for helping out a newbie

Well, in order for me to make a more precise recommendation, I would really need to assess your current fitment and make some calculations from there . In any case, as I previously mentioned, 987 platform vehicles can accommodate a much larger rear wheel than the 986 can . And it's not uncommon to see 987 boxster and cayman owners equipping their vehicles with 10.5 and 11 inch wide rears . However, most of my experience is with 986 vehicles . Therefore, the recommendation that I made was based on the available choices that you provided . With that said, 19 x10 +36 offset wheel will be slightly further out toward the fender than the 19 x 10.5 +43 will (and I assume that's the desired look that your going for). Moreover, it will give you approximately
13 mm's more of inner clearance . This can be crucial if you ever decide to lower your vehicle with adjustable coil overs. As far as an 11 inch wide wheel is concerned, again without being able establish a baseline of information, it would be difficult for me to make a recommendation .

Hi,

The oem 17' rears are 17"x8" with a 40mm offset.

Thanks

A good forum to query would be Planet-9 . That site consists entirely of 987 owners, and I'm sure that there are many members who can provide definitive answers to your questions .

Just FYI,

I wouldn't recommend any more than a 10.5" rear set-up as an 11" will either rub on the inside in order to clear or will stick-out around 1/2".

Here are two 986 Porsche cars each using the same RPK-038 Wheels using the same 19x8.5 (45) & 19x10.5 (43), Tires: 235/3519 & 275/30/19....

that's great.
i saw some of your posts on the pelican forum, and i really love the wheels you have.
might even buy a set in the future (depends on the discount ).
this is a great forum (most active in the boxster community) with great people.
so i'm sure a lot will be interested.
