996 turbo wheels on a boxster S
I have a question regarding if 996 Turbo wheels would fit a Boxster S.
I was told the 10'' is the widest wheel a Boxster S can handle with 285/30 tire. Could a 11" wheel with a 285/30 tire combo fit as-well? Has anyone tried this combo? Would rolling the fenders help as-well? Any help...thanks jpc

I have 285s with a 10" Carrera wheel, et 47mm...it's fairly tight. An 11" may rub on the suspension. Will be interested to hear from the experts out there.

I was told that a 8 x 18 50MM for the front and 10 x 18 47MM for the rear would work without spacers.
Does this sound right? |

That is what I am running (per my previous post). Fitment is not a problem, even with my car lowered.

JMATTA,
What is the difference in the suspension between my 1998 Boxster and yours 2002 Boxster S? The same wheel and tire combos will fit? Rick |

I don't think I'm qualified to answer that. I know suspension components are different, but not sure if the control arms are interchangable. Perhaps our experts will chime in.
