What spacer size do I need?
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum, and also new owner of a 2001 Boxster 2.7.
I recently found some OEM 19 inch Lobster Claws with the following specs:
Front: 235/35-19 ET 8 inch wide 57 offset
Rear: 305/30-19 ET 11 inch wide 67 offset
Now I don't mind if the tires "ride" tall and there's some error +/- 3% on the speedometer. My main question is if I wanted to install these wheels/tires, what spacers would I need in the front and rear to make it work? Keep in mind I did check out the website www.willtheyfit.com and read through a few posts, and it seems like:
1 - I need 10mm spacers in the front and 30mm spacers in the rear. Does this sound right?
2 - I was wondering if I can get away with 5mm spacers in the front and 25mm spacers in the rear. Can someone with some experience in these matters provide some insight?
Thank you all in advance!

Have you looked above in the menu bar on this site under "Tools" -> "Tire Rim Calculator"? Enter your current config and those you listed here in the post and you will see somewhat quickly if things are close or not.
