Hi everyone

Can someone please help me identify the wheels on the attached image? I think they are 20” Carrara S that are found in a GTS.

Also, will wheels for a 991.1 fit a 981 Boxster?



Thanks in advance for replies.

They are Carrera S which were an option on any 981. 991.1 Carrera S's look the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if wider than the 981 version.

As above Carrera S have them on my 981 gloss black with the silver rim ...look like the Spyder /R wheels but they only came it 19inch

Yep, Carrera S wheels and 911 versions have different offsets too. They're not an exact match to those on a Cayster.

I’m interested in 19” rims for my 981 Spyder, do you know the widths / offsets?

Thanks for the responses. That gave me the right information to go digging.

Just in case anyone comes back to this thread.

Yes, the both the 991 & 718 have a slightly higher rear rim width, and the offset of the rear 991's is greater than both the 981 & 718. That said, does anyone know if that extra 1/2" on the rear of 718's would be an issue on a 981?

I managed to create this table off some of the most common wheel sizes.

The 981 sport techno option wheels are 10" wide, but don't know if the offset differs from 718 wheels.

Very nice.

I think I prefer the Carrera S III's over the classics too. Currently running standard 18" and looking for an upgrade for my agate boxster.
