That will stick out too much if you have a spacer on there.

Your limit is 996 10" (265mm or 285mm width tires) width wheel with a minimum with 23mm spacer. That's pushing it!

If you have 11" with 295mm width rear tires, you might need a spacer that's beyond 40mm spacer.

There's no practical way to fit an 11 inch on the 986 boxster period ! Let alone with a 295 tire.

It maybe not practical but It's easier to convince ppl when you provide them with solid technical description: that's what I did.

Have you tried a 10" width on your 986?
