Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a set of Porsche-approved 17" winter wheels left-over from the 2001 996 I sold. 225/45R17 91H rear 205/50R17 89H front Will these fit a 2001 Boxster S I'm thinking of getting? Or is there some offset issue I need to worry about? Thanks

POST 2Original post

I believe those will fit - When I purchased 17" porsche factory rims and snows for my '99 C4 couupe, the set that came with 205/225 size tires was listed as boxter/996 compatible. Note these are smaller tires (and I believe smaller rims) than the standard non-winter 17" rim/tire sets that come standard on a C2 or C4 (so I'm told, my car was purchased with 18" rims). I would recommend confirming this with a dealer before installing the rims/tires on the boxter S. Why did you make the switch?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I needed the money to pay for my wedding, so I sold the 996. I took a bit of a hit depreciation-wise, but not too bad compared to some other cars. I traded it in for a BMW 530i, but found that that just wasn't doing it for me. So after considering the Boxster S and the M3 cabrio, I've now settled with a Mercedes SLK32 AMG, which I think I'll be keeping for some time. Hardtop convertible, more power than anything I've ever driven, my wife likes it a lot... So those Porsche winter wheels and tires are for sale now... http://www.geocities.com/athens/acro...66/Wheels1.jpg http://www.geocities.com/athens/acro...66/Wheels2.jpg http://www.geocities.com/athens/acro...66/Wheels3.jpg http://www.geocities.com/athens/acro...66/Wheels4.jpg http://www.geocities.com/athens/acro...66/Wheels5.jpg http://www.geocities.com/athens/acro...66/Wheels6.jpg

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know -- I get teased about it a lot at work. This time I promised my wife I would keep this one for at least a year.
