Well I just got done slapping two of my 17 x 7 Boxter wheels on my brothers Notch and the fit with no clearance problems what so ever.

I was able to turn the wheels both ways with no rubbing in the front & rear sat up inside the fender with no rubbing either.

It looks like my wheels should work out perfectly should I buy my brothers notch.

I will have to have the rotors redrilled for tempory until I figure out what brakes I will go with (if I buy it)

What do you mean "IF" you buy it. You got the wheels on it, it's yours.

Alex, those were my sentiments exactly

I emailed these pics to my brother in Puerto Rico & now he is having second thoughts about selling the car. He loves it with my wheels. I havent spoken with him yet on the phone, but I am going to try to talk him back into selling it to me.

That is sweet. Possession is 9/10ths, I think you got a GL notch.

Wow, that looks awesome !!

I assume the Notch is already lowered ?

Man, isn't it amazing what a nice set of wheels can do to a car ?

Yes the notch is already lowered and dechromed except for the hood molding.

Very cool, like one of the other posts said "your rims are on it. it yours!" I have always liked the look of the notch, there are not many of them still on the road, and that car is definetly a head turner. Good Luck Darren
