Trying to wrap my head around what size spacers (range) I should be looking for to utilize stock 99 Boxster wheels on a "standard" flared 914.
Fronts are 17X7 ET 55 Rears are 17X8.5 ET 50 Any suggestions? |

I suppose I have what would be standard flares, but they are fiberglass. I believe my wheels/ offsets are the same as yours. I am rockin' early 2000s Boxster wheels.
I presently have 3" of overall spacers on the fronts with a resulting tight finger clearance.. ( 1" 4-5 bolt adapter and 2" spacer) I'll likely reduce this to 2.5" overall, as the fender clearance is arguably too tight. The rear has a 1.25" spacer and I believe the clearance will improve with a proper rear alignment. ( I needed an additional .25" spacer on one side as the rear was not 100% symmetrical.) Please note that this car has not been driven yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hope this helps... Kevin Attached image(s)
