18" Turbo Twist 1's from an 2001 Carrera

[Dave S]

Hello,

Will 18" Turbo look 1's from a narrow body 996 fit my Boxster? Unfortunately, I don't know what the factory offsets are.....

Thanks in advance,

David

If they are 7 and a half inch or eight inch fronts they'll go straight on. If they are 10 inch backs you'll need an 18 mm spacer. The offsets are 55/50 on the Boxster and 50/65 on the 996 (from memory, it might be 50/55 on the Box but I don't think so). Ideally, you'd be looking for 9 inchers on the back on the Box to get rid of the spacers.

This assumes Porsche wheels and not replicas...

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the reply. Yes, they a factory originals. I've e-mailed the buyer and want to take a look a them before I purchase (if not, no deal). I believe on the inside they'll have a marking w/ the manufacturer and I think these are made by BBS.

They'll have Porsche numbers, size and offset marked if they are Porsche wheels (e.g my current 996 set are: 993.362.134.06, 7.5J, ET50; 993.362.140.04, 10J, ET65).

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the advice. I bought some used 996 Carrera Sport Design II's (7.5 x 18 and 10 x 18). The rear wheels has 65 mm offsets and I just ordered 18 mm H&R spacers w/ longer wheel bolts. I hope these will fit fine without any rubbing.

Dave's new wheels with 18MM spacer on rear.

Looks great!

sorry for bumping an old thread.

but this has been bothering me for a while.

isn't installing 996 tire setup on a 986 really bad for handling balance?

seems like this would make the 986 understeer in a serious sort of way.

Hi sorry if this is the wrong place to post this!

I too am looking to buy a set of the following 18in wheels complete with tyres:

993.362.134.06 7.5J x 18 ET50 FRONTS

993.362.140.04 10J x 18 ET65 REARS

I dont know the official name of these wheels I am only have a picture and the part numbers given.

Will these go straight on to my 2.5 late 1998 Boxster? I currently have 17in standard Boxster Alloys.

Thank you.

Old Topic same question sorry , but I need to clarify 

 

Does the wheels from a 996

Front 7.5J ET50 x 18

Rear 10j ET65 x 18 

 

Fit a 2.7 Boxster 2000 ? The rear is the real issue. Do I need 25 MM spacer ?

 

Appreciate any Help :)
