Question on 996 rims
I have a easy question. Im pretty shure this rim will fit on a 98 boxster but I want to be on the safe side. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1858343394" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1858343394</a>

11" rear are just "too wide" for 986...
You can run up to 8.5" and in some case up to 9" at the rear with the stock wheel arches. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[nono]" />

Hunter is correct. However, you can easily fit a rear wheel of up to 10" wide provided the offset is correct. Look here for some possibilities:
