Need some help with offset for 19" wheels
 
Hey, I'm looking to buy some wheels for my 02 boxster and was wondering if stock 19" off a 987 would fit without spacers. Here are the sizes 8/57 and 9.5/46. Thanks

I have the 996 "twist" below in 18" with 23mm spacer for the rear. The front didn't need it.

The short answer is yes. Although the offset for the front wheels is quite high. I would recommend lowering the offset by at least 10 to 15 mm's for starters.

Does that mean I need spacers for the front to make it flush? Where can a buy some spacers?

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but installing spacers will also require longer lug bolts, which ramps up the cost considerably.

I got the kit from ebay for about $140 (pair). I don't know how precise it is but it drives smooth. I might have to put a dial indicator to the hub one day.

The spacer I got is secured with two screws to the spindle. Obviously, you have to take off the screws at the rotor.
