Boxster 986 usable wheel sizes?
I'm buying winter wheels for Boxster S (year 2000) and would like to know more about what wheel sizes I can use. Manual says only these sizes:
17-inch: front 7Jx17 rear 8.5Jx17 Offset 55mm, 48mm, 50mm 18-inch: front 7.5Jx17 rear 9Jx17 offset 50mm, 52mm Now I'm specially interested can I put 16-inch wheels like these: front 6x16, offset 50mm rear 7x16, offset 40mm without any modifications (spacers etc.)? or can I put these kind of 17-inch wheels?: front 6.5x17, ET55 rear 8x17, ET40 without any modifications (spacers etc.)? Does the car's behaviour change a lot if I choose to take either those 16-inch wheels or those 17-inch wheels specified there or do they even fit to the car straight away? Thanks in advance! |
The 16" wheels don't clear the bigger brakes on the S model. Maybe some aftermarket ones do but I believe 17" is the minimum size for the S.
Steve Ps I am in FL so I know very little of winter wheels |
16s won't clear your "S" brakes The 40 offset 17s will probably rub depending on tires chosen. Choose a set of Boxster takeoff 17s for cheap. You can run 205/225 widths on stock 17 rims.

I would accept 17" Boxster takeoff wheels but do you guys know someone who would be selling them in Europe in resonable price? Only ones I have found are the ones with some big scratches and still the price is 800-900$ which I think is way too high. |
