Supersceeded TSB's, so is the a newer version?

[Westcoaster]

The TSB I found for the 987's dated December 10 2007 is listed as supersceeded, so is there a new one?

Trying to determine the rear wheel/tire sizes for the Boxster. In the TSB they list the largest 19" rear wheel as 10 inches wide, but on the Porsche website and using the "build your own" configurator they list the following for the 19" Carrera Classic wheel:

One-piece alloy wheel with slimline five-spoke design. Front: 8J x 19 with 235/35 ZR 19 tires. Rear: 11J x 19 with 295/30 ZR 19 tires.

I would like to know what offset is needed on an 11" wide rim as listed above to fit on a Boxster...

Thanks, Al

Superseded means it supersedes a previous TSB.

Porsche usually updates wheel and tires TSBs once a year.

That is the latest one issued by Porsche (at this time). We usually post new and superseded TSBs within 24 hours of receiving them.

Thanks Loren, I didn't see anything newer, so I was curious.

Interesting that they mention different wheels widths on the configurator that are not mentioned in the TSB, so assuming these new widths are now available, do you know where could one confirm the specifications?

Sometime dealers get advance notice of new options - so you would have to check with them.

Be aware that sometimes new wheels are not approved for older model year cars. For example the 1997 Boxster was not approved for 18" wheels (because they later stiffened the chassis).

I dont think you're going to find Porsche's recommendation for an 11 wheel on a boxster. 11 inch rears are only available from Porsche on the 997.

You appear to be right, no 11" listed. at least that I can find, they seem to be reserved for 'wide body' cars.

I am going to stay within the factory recommended sizes, although I have read where others have wider wheels.

I'm running almost 11" wide on the rear.
