2001 18" Turbo Twists on 1997

[986fan]

I understand that something in the suspension was updated with the 2000 model but is there

anything that would keep a friend from bolting on my 2001 18" Turbo Twists to his 1997 model?

NOBODY knows????

Not sure what you want someone to say... it is well documented in TSBs that Porsche does not recommend 18" wheels on MY1997 Boxsters.

Thanks Loren.

I understand their recommendation.

They probably don't recommend 19's on 2001's either but mine work great.

I guess I would like to hear from anybody that has tried18's on a '97-'99, recommendations notwithstanding.

I use 987 18" wheels on 1998 986 without issues including some track time.

I just bought a set of 17"x8.5 for square set-up for tracking bc the Toyos in 18" are a whole lot more expensive!

That said, this is not an endorsement of whatever you will do to your car.

As info, 1998 is the first year that they recommended using 18s, not 2000 like you stated. So, if someone is using 18s on a '98, that doesn't necessarily mean you should use them on a 97.
