New to the Boxster scene, would these fit a 2001 BS correctly?

MY02 Carrera II Lightweight wheels 18x8 ET50, 18x10 ET65

you may not want to refer to a Boxster as BS

It your Boxster an 01 or 97? I remember reading something about 97's not being compatible with 18" wheels. Something structural

IIRC, 65 is a 996 offset

If you have an owners manual, you will see a table with factory wheels and offsets (P239 ?)

If you don't have a manual, PM me, I have a PDF version

The fronts will fit fine, rears need a 18mm spacer minimum, otherwise the wheels contact the strut body. I run that set up for track use with a 14mm front, 23mm rear spacer. Looks and works wonderfully.

You will need 20th spacers on the rear at least. I put these very wheels on my Site this week. 20th front back.

Use 20th spacers front and back. Just did the same with these exact wheels on my S.

Huh?

Thanks guys! Wheel Enhancement told me 18 or 23 in the rear depending on tire width I would choose.

I concur I run these exact wheels on my 04 S for the track, using 17mm spacers in the rear. I run Proxes R888s, 235 front 275 rear. There is very little clearance with the 17mm spacer, I can just barely get a 2mm hex key to slide through the gap between rim and strut. No issues in the front.

Good luck!
