Question These Boxster rims would fit my 924S right?

I don't see why they wouldn't. There not extremely wide or anything, I think they are even the same size as my 928 S4 rims I have on now, other than being 17's obviously. ha. They are front 7x6.5 rears 17x8.

Boxster wheels fit, but is a 924S early or late offset?

I'm pretty sure 924S' are early? But I've never understood the whole offset thing. ha.

If you pull your wheels off and look on the backside you should be able to find the label that lists what the offsets are. Then just email the seller as to what the offsets of the boxster wheels are and compare. If they are the same or greater, you can use them (greater will require a wheel spacer), if they are less of an offset they will most likely not fit behind the fender.

yup...i'm pretty sure the 924S uses an early style control arm made originally to accept an early offset wheel, but uses a late offset wheel because they sit further in...thus fitting in the narrow body.

like i said, i think...
