Porsche boxster 16" wheel fitment (1303)

[60vert]

I sympathize with your concerns. I am currently going through a lot of the same thing with a 60 convertible ghia that I have. I can't tell you whether or not they are going to fit on your super, but I can confirm the offsett. If you are refering to the 16" split spoke style, the offsett for the wheels is not 52!!!! For the 16x6, the offsett is 50 and for the 16x7 the offset is 40. On the split spoke Boxster wheels, there are two sets of numbers stamped on the outer side of the rim right on either side of the valve stem hole. One is the wheels offset and the other is the width of the rim. Good luck with the fitment.

I have installed the 16 inch Boxster wheels on my 79 convert with CB performance 4 wheel disk, front Kerscher coil-overs. The tires will NOT clear stock fenders. I will try to post a picture this weekend.

Thanks,

Boxster 16x6 et 50 front, 16x7 et 40 rear, they will fit with stock fenders on 02/03. I have them on mine but my fenders are 2cm and 4cm wider with spacers, just wanted the fat look like 930 turbo!

so for sure they will fit under stock fenders, with spacers correct? Nice nice nice!

Ok so the next question is do i need to go with a narrow/lower profile spring in the front such as a maxx strut or hou rglass shaped sport springs?

Thanks!

BTW, do you have any pictues of your car silver bullet?

Under stock fenders no spacers needed. I am using Kerscher coilovers, I not too sure whether the rims will have enough clearance from stock springs. I have a friend here using 944 springs with the same rims. Ok just got on the phone with him, stock springs no clearance issue, go for it. Pictures are on members gallery. Cheers.

Sweet, thanks!
I should have asked this earlier, but what brakes do you run? i have the early 944 units so it makes the track larger by i think 22mm each side.

Later,
