Default Quick Wheel Help Please

Will these fit without too much trouble: 8Jx18 ET50 10Jx18 ET52

From a Boxster S.

I'm wheel knowledge deficient.

Thanks!

It all depends on how your car is set up, I.e. How low and how much camber as well as the tire size. The fronts are about right, the rears would need 5-10 mm spacers.

Correction: the widths appear to be 7.5 and 9. Does that just mean I would need more spacer? If so, about how much?

Thanks!

Can anyone help on this? 7.5x18 and 9x18 50 and 52 offsets. These are some well priced wheels I need to jump on. Thanks!

Don't confuse price with value. Why would you want to put "fugly" 18" Boxster wheels on a beautiful 964 coupe. So many other great choices out there.

1. Cup 1's
2. 996 10 Spoke Wheel
3. Fikse FM5 or FM10
4. ACT / Ronals
5. Sport Classics

They look like 993 turbo wheels to me. Boxster are a different looking twist wheel.

OP is correct, these 18" wheels were optional on 986 Boxster S and have typical dimensions for Boxster 18" wheels [7.5 ET50 and 9 ET52]. They will fit your 964 as long as you don't run wider than 225/40-18 front tire because the front offset is slightly on the aggressive side, and you will probably want to space out slightly more in the rear for looks. As-is, they will fit fine though.

Good luck!

Everyone has their own opinion of what is a good looking wheel...I mean you have Ronels as your #4....the same company that brought this into the world...



The OP just asked if the wheel he wanted would fit....If you want to rock the Ronels then rock on with your choice and let the OP have his style
