I have a set of Boxster rims (16") w/ Michelin tires. In addition the stud issue, another problem I face is the tires are made to be wider than the rims. I measured the tire width (9") and the offest of the wheel from the edge of the tire (6 1/4") and the distance from tire to wheel (3/4"). The wheel is 7.5" wide. These are for the rear only, fronts are 6" (me thinks). As you know Superman, body is not yet on the pan (picutes on SBO website, members). I measured from the body mount on the pan to the edge of the tire w/ spacer (12") and w/o spacer (11"). Still I am 1 inch to wide. I may have to get different tires. I will have to see once body is on the pan. It appears the studs are pressed in, 944 hubs, is this true? Years ago when I had a 68 Nova SS, I broke wheels studs and w/ my Dad's help knocked out the old ones and fitted new ones. What's the big deal? It should be an easy swap, yes? Maybe I should have machine shop press out old and press in new?
