Pics of my C4 Sport Design 11.5" wheels on Boxster!

Wow, are those wide. You may need mud flaps on the back now.

Yes, they are super wide. I used 38 mm spacers on the rears. No issues with rubbing inside, only issue seems to be top of fender on extremely big dips. Will need to install spring stabilizers, or stiffer springs to eliminate that, but it's not bad.

I did read somewhere that the e-brake cables should be zip tied out of the way. The e-brake line seems to be strait and very close the inside wheel, but no touching. How is the line zip tied?

I've put on about 600 miles with these tires/wheels so far.

Way too wide IMO. But it's your car...

The overall diameter looks much larger in the rear too? Kinda looks lifted in the back.

38mm spacers are going to put a ton of extra stress on your wheel bearings as well. The only way I see this working is if you lower the car and add a lot of negative camber in the rear. I'd personally look for that same wheel in a different fitment. Here are the same wheels but with 8.5" fronts and 10" rears:





See how much better that fits?

That's opinion, really.

I never said anything about aesthetics, I was merely suggesting something that physically fits better and requires no modification while providing more or less the same look.

You're of the opinion that wheels that contact the fender over bumps and require 38mm spacers are a better fit than ones that don't?

Those are perfect. It is a preference thing - I like the rubber just falling in line with the edge of the fender. That's a really nice aero kit too.

Yes, I'd rather have the 10 inch rears as in above photo, but I can't find them anywhere. I just need a set of rears. But, I actually am enjoying the way the car looks with those fat tires on the rear.
