$900 for a set of Boxster wheels.
http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/...INTERS_19355106 These are the wheels i would like to put on my car. Does anyone know what this spacing means? Or is there a website thar explains it....in english. I'm guessing its the mounting surface offset but which way? |

hi -
I just went thru this on mine with some 993 wheels. I wound up using 2.5" spacers on the rear and 1.5' on the fronts - I could have gone with 3" on the rears I think - they are still a little close to the tub. Have the guy measure the distance from the inside of the wheel (where it touches the hub) to the inner edge of the tire. You'll need to space it so that you have no more than 5" (so if it measures 7" you'll need a 2" spacer). <<note, I'm working from memory here, and this mind is feeble, your results may vary>> Then, once you have the things on the car - it will be too high off the ground and you'll be chasing the rear perches and front height adjustment like the rest of us. LOL td |
