6mm spacer and yes it fits...10.5 width
hey i know its a tight fit, but same ordeal, i can just fit a piece of cardboard through the inside of the tire to strut. really close, but it fits. 10.5 X 19 on the rear. rear rubber is a crazy 275.............

pulls out the rear of the car real nice.......making it look like a wide body...

On your next set see if you can push a 285/30....It will fit the wheel much better. I have 285/30/18s on the 18X10s

I don't quite get why you would want such wide tires.. really does muck with the handling of the car in a bad way.

Hi,

To each his(her) own, but it ain't workin' for me... and as mentioned, the handling compromise probably isn't worth it either...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I dont do it soo much for performance but a 265/35 looks funny on a 10" wheel as the tire has stretch to fill it

why would you say that?
why is a wider tire taking away from performance? i would thing that a wider tire has better handling and therefore the car is more stable......

oh well, if you ever get to drive a boxster with wider tires, you might feel how solid the car feels and how much better it is.....................
