Boxter wheels - expereince, opinions, fit
Thinking about picking up some of these boxter wheels (see attached) to replace 16" D90s on my '91 964 c2 coupe. After searching threads I didn't see see anyone running these Boxter wheels and also had a few fit questions:
1) Experience: anyone running these?
2) Look: Opinions on what they'd look like on a 964
3) Fit: range of responses in the various threads including:
Wheel/tire Specs:

1) Experience: anyone running these?
2) Look: Opinions on what they'd look like on a 964
3) Fit: range of responses in the various threads including:
a) bolt on as is, no fit issue
b) require 10mm steering stops ('91 c2 coupe)
c) 5mm spacer on fronts in place of steering stops
Any inputs on fit would be appreciated, see details below. Thanks in advance.Wheel/tire Specs:
Front
wheels 7x17, 55mm offset
Tires 205/50 r17 93w
Rear wheels wheels 8.5x17, 48mm offset
Tires 255/40 r17 94w
NOTE: I'm not 100% sure on the off-sets but I think these are correct

I have early Boxster/996 wheels.
17" x 7" 55 offset (205/50)
17" x 8.5" 50 offset (255/45)
No spacers (although i have run 18mm spacers on the rear).
I painted them last year with Porsche metallic slate grey.
