Default Wheels/rims

Tried searching but can't find it, though I'm a lousy searcher so I'll ask.

Looking/hoping to get a 92 968 and planning ahead for the winter. Can anyone tell me if the 16in Boxster Hollander Wheels will fit the 968?

Depends on the offset - Stock 16 inch wheels on the 968 are
7x55 Front
8x52 Rear

You'll need spacers on the fronts, they make great snow wheels (had them on my 94 coupe), but you'll be about 75% of grip with summer tires in the dry (they're also more skinny than 16" Cup 1's).

I asked the vendor what the offsets were and she just said 16". Is there a place where it states the offsets on the rims?

Are the originals made in Italy?

Also, any 16" tire can be placed on these rims?

Are spacers easily obtained? Would a normal garage have them?

Thanks

Wheel Enhancement would know the best tire sizes for that wheel. Paragon Performance would have the spacers, which are needed as I remember.
