They'll have Porsche numbers, size and offset marked if they are Porsche wheels (e.g my current 996 set are: 993.362.134.06, 7.5J, ET50; 993.362.140.04, 10J, ET65).

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the advice. I bought some used 996 Carrera Sport Design II's (7.5 x 18 and 10 x 18). The rear wheels has 65 mm offsets and I just ordered 18 mm H&R spacers w/ longer wheel bolts. I hope these will fit fine without any rubbing.

David

If they are 7 and a half inch or eight inch fronts they'll go straight on. If they are 10 inch backs you'll need an 18 mm spacer. The offsets are 55/50 on the Boxster and 50/65 on the 996 (from memory, it might be 50/55 on the Box but I don't think so). Ideally, you'd be looking for 9 inchers on the back on the Box to get rid of the spacers.

This assumes Porsche wheels and not replicas...

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the reply. Yes, they a factory originals. I've e-mailed the buyer and want to take a look a them before I purchase (if not, no deal). I believe on the inside they'll have a marking w/ the manufacturer and I think these are made by BBS.

Hello,

Will 18" Turbo look 1's from a narrow body 996 fit my Boxster? Unfortunately, I don't know what the factory offsets are.....

Thanks in advance,

David

Hi All,

I'll need to take my Boxster in soon for a clutch replacement. Is there any other thing I should get work done in parallel?

Thanks,

Dave

Thank you very much for the information. I think I'll go w/ 225's in the front and 265's in the rear.

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking of replacing my Pirelli P Zero's with Michelin Pilot Sport's as well. I have stock 17" rims. I'd like to go w/ a little wider tires in front. What is the largest tire I can install? I think Graeme mentioned he's running 225/45/17.

Lastly, does anybody know a good wheel alignment shop in the San Jose, CA area?

Thanks,

Dave

Hello,

My 98 Boxster did not come w/ the OBC 4th stalk. I searched the posts, but cannot find anything. Can someone tell me what part I need to order and then how to install?

Thanks,

David

Sent you a PM...

Hi Loren,

Thank you very much for the instructions. All I need to do now is get the "special tool 9578".

Hi Loren,

Sorry, the inside mirror.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi All,

I want to install the self dimming rear view mirror. Can someone send me the installation instructions?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

All,

Thanks for all the information and feedback. I didn't know that I had to drill holes to mount the Aluminum pedals. I guess I'll just replace the current rubber ones.

Regards,

Dave

Dan Feinberg gave me his set a few years ago after he switched to aluminum.  I'll give them to you at one of the local events if I can remember where I put them.

Thanks for both your replies Scott and Toolpants. Question, if I went to the aluminum ones, don't they just bolt right onto my existing rubber ones? I see them for sale, but want to be sure before I purchase.

David

I want to replace my cluth and brake rubber pedals on my 98' Boxster. Does anybody have part #'s? How hard is it to remove the old and replace?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a direct replacement upgrade on the factory door speakers? Just wondering if I can replace w/ some better ones.

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

I'd like to change my oil and air filter during the next work on cars day.

Thanks,

Dave
