huh? it should fit- if you have a wheel from a newer boxster/911 it may require a 6mm slip on spacer as they have a different style front wheel bearing and out hubs will not fit completely into the rim. You can also remove the bearing cap and put thewheel on but im not a fan of that.

The stock wheel on an 89 is an ET65 with a 225 tire. An ET 52 wheel pushes the tire towards the fender by 13mm, no spacers required. You shouldn't have a problem. I have an 89 with the rolled fenders I am currently running ET 46 wheels with 245 tires which barely rub the fenders, but I have a lot of negative camber that helps. I have seen ET 52 wheels rub with 245 tires if the camber is not agressive.
