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

Hi, Looking to find out if the Porsche OEM Lobster Fork/ Claw wheels will be compatible with our 98 Boxster. I see these on eBay from time to time, but note sure if these will fit my Boxster or not. I am assuming that 275 will be the widest tire I can fit for the rears, but would also welcome some guidance on it.

POST 2Original post

Hi Mine 18 inch 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 Greetings and good luck

POST 3Original post

OEM Lobster Claws didn't appear on a Boxster until the 987 version (2005+) and they'll be 19". The offset will be what you need to key in on - 987 offset (vs 997 or 911) is 57 front, 46 rear. Find a set with those offsets and you'll be good to go. The 997 will have a different rear offset that would require a spacer.

POST 4Original post

To the OP may I say you have excellent taste (although we differ on wheels). Would you tell me how often the XKR needs fixing? Also, can you believe the price of Rolls from the 80's? Around here low mileage cars are going for $20 000 or less.

POST 5Original post

if you are looking for a set of the pictured wheels, I have a set in perfect condition. they were taken off of my 05 boxster s. private message me and make an offer.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Woodsman - Thanks. The Jag has some peculiar items that need to be addressed, but once those are sorted it is a mean cat indeed. I have also made some minor mods o the exhaust as it was keeping the supercharged engine notes hidden .

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