My car currently has Boxster calipers front and rear and I am running Boxster wheels. I like the look of 15" Fuchs so I am looking at the Maxilite 15x6 wheels. Anyone out there running Boxster calipers with 15" wheels? Just wondering if they fit. I don't know anyone that has a 15" wheel to test. Thanks.

Here is the description of the Maxilite from their website:

6x15, off set ET 36, 5x130, optics as original deep six, matt black centre with diamond cut lip, fits Porsche 911 and 912 up to MY 1976 all around, also front axle of Porsche 911 to MY 1980, not SC 204 HP, Carrera 3,2 or turbo. No caps included

Wondering why they say that, besides being too narrow for aesthetics? Or do they have larger brakes?

Remember that due to be castings they could be a tad thicker which would be for the most part all on the inside area for the brakes.
