Going for the Boxster fitment also means there is no added aggressiveness to the look! Hmmm...
Just follow the formula for lowering the offset via spacers and you'll be all set.

Thanks, JD! Any suggestion on which brand and how much I should budget for 15/20 spacers? Are those being sold by Suncoast any good?

There are a million and one suppliers for spacers. I have H&R, try ecstuning.com that's where I got my spacers and bolts
