have them... just my thought....

turbo twists were a factory option at one point, that may be the reason. although, there must be different styles of turbo twists. I was looking at my car sitting next to my dad's turbo and his wheels are still different than mine. Same year, mine are authentic turbo rims as they have a 996 part number on the back, but a slightly different pattern. His look more aggressive than mine.

i didn't meen 'turbo twists' per se, i meant TURBO, as in from a 996 turbo. the 8.5" front and 11" rears with these offsets are directly from the turbo.

they seem to fit just fine, no rubbing

I had to put on 7MM spacers to clear the springs.

What was offset in this wheel?

These are sexy wheels. Who makes them?

I am running 993 Turbo hollow spokes, which are 18x10 at the rear with ET40 offset, no spacers. The ET40 pushes the wheel about 5mm too far outboard. It is fine with stock suspension, but I'd be worried going lower with running major camber.

I just ordered 7mm spacers for 10 x 18 (265/35) with 52 offset. I should be OK?

[LowFlyR]

Now I know I'm OK. Yesterday I got my spacers and 52mm offset 10x18 are OK even with 5mm spacers.

That puts you at ET47, which is generally considered ideal for Boxster fitment.

It worked Great

I got 18x10 rear with offset 48mm and 18x8 front what size spacer do i need to fit the front and rear?

[LowFlyR]

I don't think you need any spacers. My 8x18's are 48 offset and they fitted fine and my 10x18's (offset 52) fitted ok with 5mm spacers. It will be pretty tight clearance to the strut at rear though.

I Got 98 Boxster, I got 18x10 with 255/35/18 but for some reason its rubbing on the strut tower so do i need any spacers?
