So how do I determine which spacers I need (assuming that is what it will take to make this work)?
I have the Boxster wheels here now and can relay any pertinent numbers from them if necessary.
OT: i've just seen your avatar, i know that picture !! haha, i've been there with my 924 turbo, and at 260km/h thats exactly how the picture comes out

No, of course I didn't put those "duchey" Porsche letters on my car Alpineace. That would automatically make me a douche wouldn't it? (I assume you were doing your best to spell "douche" and insult me. If you were assuming I am a some kind of European Duke then, no I'm not royalty. I just stuck a decal on the car similar to the some that Porsche puts on at the factory.) Don't worry, literacy isn't for everyone.

Sounds like you were having some fun Morghen. Ok quiz: Where was the avatar photo taken? First correct answer wins a ride with Morghen 911 hunting!

I've never seen a decal like that on the front of any Porsche street car. Do you have pictures of the car you are talking about?

No, I don't have any pics. In fact I doubt I've ever seen a Porsche script on the nose of a street going 944 either. I have however seen identical Porsche script decals on the rocker panels of countless 911s, and also on the tails of 911s (this happens to be a 1970s 911 tail decal). I also have seen identical decals on the noses of some iconic 944 race cars as well. And of course most 944s come from the factory with a Porsche script wrapped around the tail in a slightly different outline script too.

I came across this decal from a guy who no longer had his Porsche and since it happened to fit exactly between the headlamps on the nose of my car I thought I'd stick it on and be, well, what it turns out isn't actually all that unique. The decal also covers some of the many rock chips on the front of a 23 year-old car.

Default Boxster wheels for sale

I have these listed in the for sale section and here they are on my car. I upgraded to 18s: They have 225/255 Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on them and fit just right on my '89 Turbo.
