18 inch style 411 Carrera wheels.

I have searched but I can`t seem to find an answer to my question, . I have been looking for a set of these wheels used for a while now. I want to use 235/40r18 and 275/35r18 tires without any spacers on my 2001 Boxster.

Now I came across a used set of these.

So, my question is, if I am going to need to use any spacers on the back due to the 10 inch wheel and ET65? I`m wondering if any of you guys are running these wheels on your Boxsters, thanks.

I ran those on mine for a while, but I had 225 on front and 255 on the rear. I'm trying to remember, but I'm 99% sure I didn't have any spacers on.



Old picture of them on.

Are those 8/10 or 7.5/9? They look like 7.5 and 9 to me. I think a 255 tire on a 10 inch wheel is to much of a stretch. I am almost certain that I`m going to need a spacer with the 10 inch wheel ET65 at the rear, and I would need at least a 275 tire, thanks Wizard.
Anyone running the 8/10 411 Carrera wheels on their Boxster?

Thanks for the link BrantyB. I figure that I need a spacer in the rear, I`m just not sure what size and what tire width people are running on the 10s.
