Is this normal after installing new wheels ?

[blue2000s]

im sorry im just very confused...the reason i bought the rims is because i got them 4 brand new tires and 4 caymen oem porsche rims all together for 400$ and i couldnt let that deal pass by...so what are my option to lower the front ?

Amazing price, the next time I need a set of wheels and tires I am going to call you! At $400 sounds like they were stolen! :clapping:

Are you positive they are OEM wheels and not the Italian replica's?, a stock Porsche wheel up in the great white north is $1000 each!

Anyway, the set you bought has the OEM tires sizes for the 987/987c(F 235-40, R 265-40), the 986 according to the TSB's was different, the front was 225-40 and the rear 265-35...

As suggested, you should run the correct sizes for the car, the differences in the look will not be noticable IMHO

ahahahah believe me i knew the guy he had a cayman and bought the cayman s rims from dealer $2500 brand new, he had them on for 2 weeks and decided to trade in his cayman for a E350 =/ So he had them sitting in his back and just wanted to get rid of them, he originally wanted to get $1000 out of it but i told him all i got is $400 :D hes like ok here...so it was a steal, and tomorrow i have an appointment with discount tire co. i called them and they told me then can give me credit for the tires not a complete trade, does anyone know a company that will trade them, the tires are still brand new, only used for 3 weeks!!! btw im selling my boxster 2 17's with tire if anyone is interested :)

ps here are the pictures of my car with the oversized tires on them lol

The wheels are really nice. It does look a little high in front, but not so much so that I'd think there was something off if I saw the car on the road. It could just be an optical illusion due to the different design and color of the wheels and the fact that the rear tires are too tall so they fill in the wheel well better than the stock size does. Are you sure it was lower on the 17s?

West, was there any offset difference between the boxster 18" and the Cayman 18"s?

Both styles of 18" wheels (Boxster S and Cayman S) have the same offset: 57mm front and 43mm rear

Hey when i had the 17's on their the front was definantly lower the car looked even now with the 18's the front is a bit higher then the rear i feel like im riding a lowride...and by the way my boxster is NOT a type S, i think that makes a difference...Does anyone here want to trade my 265/40-18 for 265/35-18 and fronts 235/40-18 for 225/35-18 i believe. tires are brand new only used for 3 weeks...let me know please...discount tires wanted to rip me off to trade my tires for different sized ones...
