SSR Forged 19x10- Will it fit?
hello
I found a good deal on rims with tires, but im wondering if they would fit just fine on my 2000 boxster S, What is a default offset on stock 17 twists rims? Below are specs for SSR Forged 19" Front: Rims: 19x8 et 49 Tire:Toyo Proxes T1-R 245/35ZR19 Rears: Rims: 19x10 et62 Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport 295/30ZR19 Please let me know if they would work without any issues or rubbing http://images.craigslist.org/01212_h...yk_600x450.jpg |

They already have tires, so would 295 in the back fit? or is it too wide? woudl they work without spacers? i would like to put them on and then if after some time buy spacers and push them out a little, or i need to get spacers to push them out to avoid rubbing in the inside of the wheel well? |

Yes, an 18 or20mm spacer will work. My 10's have a 65 offset, I went with a 20mm spacer. You don't have to get spacers for the front but a 7mm spacer will bring them out more in line with the rears.
Stock is 7 ET55 - Front, and 8.5 ET50 - Rear http://986forum.com/forums/327695-post9.html |

Even with the 265's, there isn't a lot of clearance with the shock tower. I'm happy with them, but I think 275's would have worked fine.

I'm not sure about sizing, but I would all the tire rack to see what tire options you have and if they recommend mixing T1-R's with MPS's.
Generally for the 986, I don't think 19" is a good choice in that you have to pay a premium for tires in that size. It's a little racket the the tire company run, they give you a tiny bit more rubber and use that to charge a lot more. For a show car or garage queen probably not a big deal for a daily driver that might see more frequent rear tire changes different story.. I like the idea of forged wheels in an area that sees lots winter abuse. But the weight has to be low (20-25lbs). Heavy wheels running a heavy winter tire can wear out the suspension sooner, things start rattle and come loose/break. |

You are right, My boxster is for pleasure use, i dont drive to work, i will put it away for winter, so the max i will do in a year is about 2000miles, I really like the wheels and the price $900 for rims and tires in great condition I think is really good, is it?? :) |

Also, I'd do some research on those wheels. THose might be discontinued as well. If you crack one and its not fixable there goes your bargain because you'll be buying four new wheels and possible tires again. Also, a completely forged wheel for $900 sounds too good to be true. Decent forged wheels run about $900 a piece. Maybe a wheel mex where the outer/flange is forged and the rest of the wheel is just cast to reduce cost my sound more plausible. Is this seller otherwise too lazy to simply post an ad? If these wheels are clean with no damage and really are 100% forged he should be asking a lot more. |

The wheel cracking also took down the tire and shredded the sidewall, which resulted in my finding out that the tire was discontinued. So basically to replace one cracked replica wheel and four new tires would cost about twice the price of replica wheel set in the first place. bargains are not usually bargains. |
