Front and rear spacers for 18" SportDesign wheels

[atta]

Hi.

Just got a 1999 Boxster that came with the sport option and the 18" SportDesign wheels.

Front: 7,5 J x 18 ET50 (RO?) with 225/40 ZR 18

Rear: 9 J X 18 ET52 with 265/35 ZR 18

I bought a set of H&R Track+ spacers with bolts on an ebay auction saying these would fit a Boxster. Now that I have read through a lot of posts about spacers here on the forum I'm worried that they might not fit the front. The spacers are 15mm front and 18mm rear. From what I read 18mm rear should be OK, but I have not found anyone mentioning running more than 7mm on the fronts..?

I have 7mm in front, 15mm in the back and my heart is still beating. The price of the lug bolts nearly stopped it though.

I think “S’s” have them (5mm or 7mm) all the way around..

On what wheel size and offset is this? I've noticed that 15mm + 18mm is a popular combination in Europe for the Boxster (sold as pair by companies such as TechArt and DesignTek), but I'm not sure if if they will fit my particular wheels. By the way, that's 15mm spacers, so 30mm axle extension.

The spacers you bought will not work with the wheels you have. They are too big. The rear 18mm spacer is meant for fitting a Carrera offset (65mm) wheel to a boxster. 65-18 = 47mm, which is perfect for a 10" wide rear wheel.

Not sure what the 15mm spacers are for... they may technically fit up front but the wheel is going to stick out too far and look, IMO, kind of funny.

Why did you buy spacers? The wheels you have already fit properly.

If you are looking for a set of track wheels, I have a set of Complete Custom Wheels (CCWs) that are about as light as you can get for a Boxster that I'm looking to sell.
