These will NOT fit a boxster of any description - the 11inch wide rear runs a 45mm offset - Boxster rears should run 52mm. So the GT2 wheel will be 7mm further outboard to start with, and with a big tyre will definitely rub the wheelarch lip.

You need to find either Boxster Turbo Look II rims for direct fit (9 x 18,52mm offset) or the 996 version at 10inch wide (and 65mm offset) coupled to a 13mm spacer. With these you can use the 285/30 rear tyre without rubbing


However, also take note that 18 inch wheels should not be fitted to ANY boxster before MY98, as the rear suspension and cross members were strengthened to cope with 18s at the MY change.
