Wheels Fitments for 986 Boxster

[justinbaker]

Hello all, yesterday I purchased a lovely set of pristine 19" Loster claw 997 Carara 4s wheels which were way to big, to fit to the back end of the Boxster.

The fronts fitted perfectly, but even with a 10mm spacer the rear would still foul.

The fronts are 8J x 19 with 235 / 45 ZR19
the rears are 11j x 19 with 305 / 30 ZR19

These are now surplus to requirements, but was wondering what I could fit under the arches of the Boxster, preferably without spacers.

Or if anyone has a suitable swap?

What are the offsets of the wheels ?

ET57 and ET67, probably.

OP, if theyre the wheels that Im thinking about then theyre available as a 9.5" too, so maybe a pair of these along with the 8"s would be better suited, both to the car and to the wheelarches?

The Offsets are;

Front ET57
Rear ET51

Part Numbers 997 362 156 & Rear 997 362 162 00

Arent they 997 Turbo wheels? Theres a 9.5" in those too though (according to me German wheel reference), so the same advice might still be good.

10 and 10.5 is pretty much the widest that you can fit in on a 987/rear axle.

Thank you all for the contribution, I know the twists are the best for tyres, and the old girl works well as is. But.... Swapsies for something that fits the rear swing and cable. GT2 18"?
