Default WTB: 18" wheels

Looking for 18x8front, 18x10 rear, offsets in the mid 50's. I'm open to type, brand. OEM turbo tech, BBS, etc...

Don't need tires, just the wheels, must be straight and in good shape.

Drop me a note if you have something.

just a note, i believe 996 wheels dont have the correct offset to work with a boxster, or is it just the widths were different on stock wheels?

Which factory offsets? They made a whole bunch of different ones, wide body, narrow body, 50, 65, 40, etc. I need to know the specific offsets to know whether they'll fit my car or not...

Really ? So 18x8 52ET and 18x10 40ET Technology Hollow Spokes should fit an '02 986S no problem ??

225/40 in front.......can you run 285/30 in the rear ??

I am road tripping tomorrow 6AM with a friend to pick up said car in Raleigh NC. This car needs 18's on it. 17's seem anemic....

Paging ArenaRed...paging ArenaRed....

Yes, you can run 285-30's on 10" 18's. I squeezed the equivalent of 295's on my 10.5x18et40 Volk rims. I cheated though; needed coilovers to get -3 deg camber to tuck them under the fender. With 10" rims, the 285 should fit nicely.
