Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions.

Suggestion

Sorry ti hi-jack but just to confirm my understanding that with a standard non-S 986 I can run any 987 alloys (maybe not the 19")?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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 am after some spare wheels for my 2003 Boxster s Don't mind if they are 17 or 18" Does anybody have any and do you know if 987 ones are compatible? Thankyou

POST 2Original post

I think 987 and narrow body 997 wheels are compatible.

POST 3Original post

AFAIK 986 and 996NB and 987 widths and offsets are close enough to be interchangeable. See here for your bible. http://www.944racing.de/wheelweights.php ...are they for the fitment of winter tyres?

POST 4Original post

Just for Info. I have a 2003 S also I bought some boxster wheels off ebay - £300 and in perfect condition. But they turned out to be (I suspect) early non S wheels. Rears are 8.0 ET 40 x 17 and fit OK. Fronts are 6.5 ET 55 x 17 and would rub on the S brake callipers. So I had to get some 3mm spacers and longer bolts for the fronts, they fit now. These wheels are currently on my S with winter tyres on. Rears have 225/45 tyres and fronts have 205/50, as shown in the handbook for winter fitments. hope this helps.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thankyou It is to run either winter tyres or decent normal tyres. In the summer it has federal rsr which in warm weather are really good So new Boxster wheels should be ok then? That opens it up a bit as there seems to be more if those available Thankyou

POST 6Original post

Sorry ti hi-jack but just to confirm my understanding that with a standard non-S 986 I can run any 987 alloys (maybe not the 19")? Thanks

POST 7Original post

For cheap rims, look on both eBay (when I was looking 986 wheels were plentiful) and here on Pistonheads classified. I got a set for £250 a year or so ago.

POST 8Original post

I have a spare set of 17inch from a Boxster 987. PM me if of interest.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
