um all 18" wheels used on all 986 boxsters could be used. Mine came with 7.5x18 and 9x18 "sport design" wheels. "twist" style wheels also came in 18". As did the "classics" and the "lightweights".

I have a 986 Boxster.
I have updated the 17" wheels to 18". I went with 8"x18 front and 10"x18" rear. Everything worked well. Thanks for the reply. |

Additional Information
The rear wheels needed a 7mm to 15mm spacer with longer studs. The back of the wheel touched the strut before the spacer. The front wheels had no rubbing or problems. Ride height is stock. Last edited by IXLOR8; 06-10-2009 at 05:30 AM.. |
