Another Wheel Question

[travisn706]

I have a chance to purchase a set of 2006 Boxster S Wheels they are 8x18 57 offset front, 9X18 43 offset rear, my wheels are 7.5x18 50 offset front, 9x18 52 offset rear. What do I need to do to make these wheels fit my 2001 Boxster S? Thanks

The short answer is that they will fit fine. The fronts will be positioned slightly inward . However, the rears will be positioned a bit further out toward the fender . Depending how aggressive you want your "stance" to be, spacers can be added to augment this effect.

JD is our wheel expert, just don't ask him if 11 inch wheels will fit...he will implode.

what about some
18x 8.5 51mm
18x10 63mm

What would I need to make them fit?

Thank you

Hi!

You need 23mm spacers for the rear wheels, so they will fit.

Also you can order 7mm spacers for front!

Then you become this:

18x 8.5 51mm plus 7mm spacer = offset 46
18x10 63mm plus 23mm spacer = offset 40

This configuration should be perfect, but keep in mind, to use only 225/40 in front and 265/35 for rear.

Or you could use the 987 sizes of 235/40 and 265/40.
