996 Turbo Wheels on a Boxster - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Anyone have pictures? I beleive they are the same ones on a GT2,well they look the same. Some call then the "Turbo Look" or "Technology IIs" Does anyone know how wide they are? He said the fronts were 225/40ZR18 but doesnt know the rears off of the top of his head or the offset. If you know,do you know if I will need spacers? I have considered repairing the scratches in my wheels,but for this price I can have a whole new set with some tread left on the tires.

the real turbo wheels wont fit, it runs a 305 tire. The turbo look wheels probably will fit, since they arnt as wide.

They are the same design as the Turbos and GT2s but not as wide. I beleive that the tires sizes are 225/40zr18 and 285/40zr18. They are coming off of a 03' Carrera S. What I'm looking for is the offset,and wether or not they will fit on a 99' Boxster.

If they are factory, just call the dealership. If they are 18's they should fit, but I was told that the new 19's for the 987 wouldnt fit our older boxsters.

Ok here is the deal.
I just came back from viewing the wheels and trying to put them on. The rears are 11x18!!!!w/ a 45mm offset. Is it possible to get these to fit on my car? I was thinking an inch spacer with longer lug nuts. I'm starting to think that the cost & time to get these to fit aren't worth it. Anyone have pictures of there Boxster with 11x18s and an inch spacer just to see what it looks like?
