Carrera Light Wheels application

[steved0x]

Here are the approved tire & wheel sizes, 18x10 ET 65 is on the list, does it really take a 20-24 mm spacer to fit right/look good?

The reason I'm asking is I was looking at some other wheels that cam come either in 18x10 ET 65, or ET 40 something, and wondering which is best?

et 65 wont even fit on a boxster - they will rub on the springs.

without spacers, that is. i used to be anti-spacer, but have come around and now use them. 20 or 25 mm is a lot of heavy metal, however. many more wheels for the 996 unfortunately.

I use 18mm spacers with my original 18" Fuchs wheels (10J x 18, ET65, 8.80 kg): minor fender crimping necessary
--> TÜV approved, no rubbing

The "bigger" problem was the front (8J x 18, ET52, 8.20 kg): 5mm spacers, minor fender crimping and minor wheel well tweaking necessary
--> TÜV approved, no rubbing
