toplad Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Looking for some information from the guru's Is it possible to fit a 10 inch Carrera wheel to the 987? I'm ok with the off sets changes, but does it effect the car in terms of handling going up an inch at the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yes they will fit I had 10" rims on the rear of my 986. In my opinion handling improved, and when I fitted slightly wider rubber to them they were way more comfortable too. Cosmetically they looked great and filled the arches perfectly. They also looked a tad stretched with the 265 rubber. Said rims are now my winter tyres on the 981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Think those are standard 987 "Boxster S" rims and 18x8 front 18x9 rear, but I'm sure someone will be along to confirm. Or you could look at the embossed either side of the valves. The lower number is the width, the higher is the offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
