Question Will 996 wheels fit on a Boxster S?

Does anyone know if 18" Turbo twists will fit on a Boxster S? I think the 996 Twists are 18x8 & 18x10s. Also, could you put the Boxster 18x9 wheel in the front?

Only the front 8" x 18" could be mounted on the Boxster. The 10" ET65 wheel does not work on the rear axle. I don't know if the 9" ET52 can be squeezed in front, either. My guess is no but it is a matter of trial and error.

This is what I have gathered on the subject:

Boxster Wheels & tires:
Front 7.5 x 18 ET 50 PartNo 993.362.134.06 with 225/40 Pirelli Pzero.

Rear 9x18 ET 52 Part No 993.362.138.01 with 265/35 Pirelli Pzero.


996 Wheels
Front Porsche wheels - 993-362-134-06 7.5Jx18 ET50
Back Porsche wheels - 993-362-140-04 10Jx18 ET65


Mille Miglia Cup 3 = aftermarket version available
