Hi newbie here from Leeds,

I'm looking to upgrade the alloys on my 987 Boxster and have bought a set the same as these, but a little cheaper may I add and they are in transit:

They are 18x8 front and 18x10 which seem all OK for a Boxster, but I'm concerned and also confused on the offset:

Front offset = ET37 and Rear offset = ET58

Will these fit or do I need to sell them ?

Appreciate any help
Pete

Hi, thanks for the reply. Just looked at the add on what I have bought and the tyres sizes on the wheels are:

Front - 235/40 R18 8J Offset 37

Rear - 265/40 R18 10J Offset 58

Does this help with the killer question - are these too big for a Boxster 987

Thanks folks for the advice. Wheels arrived this morning. Look lovely.

I'm going to get 2 small curb marks repaired, a bit of spit and polish and back on that favourite auction site.

Tyres are in very good condition so I'm hoping to atleast re-coup most of the £460 layout incurred for a set of 4 Porsche wheels.

Live and learn, live and learn.....
