Hey Mad, I'm just trying to help you out. But, there's no way an 11 inch wheel will properly fit on a 986 boxster . What SpyderRS has done to his vehicle in order make those wheels fit is an absolute abomination ! Not only does it look ridiculous, but I'm also certain that the vehicle isn't even drivable . You have a great looking vehicle . And, there must be a buzzillion wheels to choose from out there . Why do you insist on tempting fate with those bobo wheels ? You should check out the Victor Zehn wheel . It's nice looking wheel with good fitment at a reasonable price .


Here's an example of a very aggressive fitment . My vehicle has 19 x 10's with a +31 offset on the rear . This is about as aggressive as you can go while still maintaining proper clearance, along with excellent handling characteristics for the street .

Hey Johnny Danger, for what reason you tell some stupid things? the car works absolutely perfect in every situation and what to hell should looks ridiculous and did you ever drive my car to makes you able for saying it isn´t drivable? it isn´t the first boxster, that i modified and i know exactly, what fits and works and what not!

Your fitment is fancy... if you really have any expierience... you should know that your low offset on 10" isn´t the perfect choice! you did forget to tell us the offset in front! Too bad you're so far away, then i would love to compare the performance of our cars!

I have more experience with wheel fitment and suspension set-up than you have contemplating your belly button . What you have going on with your vehicle is positively ridiculous . And, moreover presents a bad influence on anyone who is attempting to upgrade their vehicle in a methodical and sound way . Short of some asinine approach to rolling out fenders beyond reason, or foolishly jacking up the rear suspension in order to create clearance, there's no way in hell that an 11 inch wheel can properly fit on a 986 boxster .

p.s. My fitment isn't just fancy . It involves a carefully selected set of one piece forged Champion RS-98's, along with a custom PSS 9 set-up . Considerable time and energy went into calculating this wheel application, as well as dialing in the suspension .

Of course... reviewing your car shows me your great expierience... lol

What to hell involves a carefully selection on your car? the PSS9 isn´t the best in suspensions, because they use standard adjustable shock absorbers, so you don´t become more lowering as - 45mm .... and what a performance you will get with this camber? Most of german owners who use the PSS9 for the track, changes the the springs and use them from H&R...

If you don´t know... we are a technology partner for development division from H&R in Germany... so you want to tell me something about set up´s!? Btw. ... you have forget to tell us the offset from your front wheels... also interesting for the wheel weights....

My PSS9's came from 9FF in Germany (I'm sure that you heard of them !), wherein they chose specific spring rates they felt would accommodate a balance between street and track . Their affiliated in the USA subsequently set-up my vehicle based on their extensive experience regarding Porsche Cup Racing, i.e.. setting the dampening, carefully aligning the suspension, sway bars and stress braces, corner balancing ect.. As far as my front wheels are concerned, they're 19 x 8 +31 offset with 235/35/19's . The rears weight around 19 lbs and the fronts around 18 lbs. That constitutes a reduction of more than 50 lbs of unsprung weight and rotational mass .

Great! From this basic we can do a serios discussion! Of course i know Jan Fatthauer, he is absolutely perfect in his work.

Sure, that only 8,0 in front? It is to narrow for the front, you can use 8,5 or 9" without any issues, to get a better performance. your wheel weights are very low, that´s perfect.

First off, I don't know of anyone who runs a 9 inch wide wheel on the front of a 986 boxster . Secondly, the reason why I chose an 8 inch front was because the 8.5 inch version that was available had too high of an offset to clear the adjustable perch on the coilovers. I previously used 8.5's, and I tell you from experience that vehicle suffered no loss of balance .
