I'm looking at a set of factory 996 wheels for my 97 boxster, will they fit? They are 17x7, 17x9, offset 55mm, bolt pattern 5x130, tires 205/50, 255/40. Will I need spacers or make room in wheel well? Can they just bolt on and go? Any info will help

Thanks

If the suspension is stock the rears are okay. You may need a 5mm spacer for the front. Are you sure the fronts are 55mm offset not 50mm?

I'm not sure of the offsets buy thats what the seller told me. If they are the stock 996 17 in wheels they all should be the same standard offset, shouldn't they? Thanks for the info.

I have 17" 996 rears on a my97 Boxster (9" ET55) and one side rubs slightly and the other is very close WHEN JACKED UP ONLY- I am adding 5mm spacers.

Sorry I should have added that the fronts are 7" ET 55 s and I think that is stock. What I meant by rubbing when Jacked up is the tire is rubbing on the strut bar.

Front and rear offsets are almost always different.
