Hello,
Just wondering if 2001 Bxster rims would fit on an 86 911? 17 inch. Thinking that the offset will not work. Any thought?

Thanks Everyone!

your best bet is to find out what the offsets of the boxster rims are then come back and ask.

I had 17s on my 911 Sc and can look up the offsets later and compare

Hi Again,

the offset is 25mm front and 17mm rear for the 911 I am pretty sure that the Boxsters are 57mm f and 40mm rear.

Does that sound doable.

Thanks!

Sure, with spacers. Certainly not by just bolting them on.

But you're dealing with a heavy wheel, plus a heavy spacer.

I kinda thought they were heavy but was looking for something to track with and have more tire choice, and these seem cheap but I think I won't end up happy.

Any wheel suggestions that are priced right? Not cheep but good quality and fair price?

If you're just running track days why not just stick with what you have on the car? Extra wheels and tires can be a real hassle. I know

If I were starting over i would run street tires on a track car. It's not racing. it's about having fun and switching wheels/tires takes a lot the run out of it.

I have Carrera specific 17" Twists that I use at the track. No spacers.

The Boxster offset can be "made" to work. The offset is wrong, the bearings were not designed for the spacers that would be needed.
