Wheel Offset Question
New to the Boxster scene, would these fit a 2001 BS correctly?
MY02 Carrera II Lightweight wheels 18x8 ET50, 18x10 ET65
The wheels in photo to the left.

you may not want to refer to a Boxster as BS
It your Boxster an 01 or 97? I remember reading something about 97's not being compatible with 18" wheels. Something structural
IIRC, 65 is a 996 offset
If you have an owners manual, you will see a table with factory wheels and offsets (P239 ?)
If you don't have a manual, PM me, I have a PDF version

The fronts will fit fine, rears need a 18mm spacer minimum, otherwise the wheels contact the strut body. I run that set up for track use with a 14mm front, 23mm rear spacer. Looks and works wonderfully.

I concur I run these exact wheels on my 04 S for the track, using 17mm spacers in the rear. I run Proxes R888s, 235 front 275 rear. There is very little clearance with the 17mm spacer, I can just barely get a 2mm hex key to slide through the gap between rim and strut. No issues in the front.
Good luck!
