I have a 2005 Boxster S with 19" Carerra Wheels. !5mm rear and 7 mm front spacers. Have not had any problems. Hope that helps.

I'll start by saying this, the mention of any Carerra wheels (Carerra S or Carerra Sport) here should be referring to only those wheel styles made for the 987 cars. People should not automatically assume the Carerra wheels are the exact same wheels from the 997 Carerras... Because while they may share the name and look, they are far from the same. Wheels for these two cars have a significantly different offset. This fact may be obvious to most of us, but I'm saying this for the benefits of those who didn't know. :-)

That said, 18" and 19" factory wheels for the 987 cars (no matter if they're called the Boxster S, Carerra S or Carerra Sports, etc.) all share an equal back spacing. That means those wheels have the same space of "recessed" from the fender. That also means 15mm spacers I used to "fill out" the recessed look on an 18" Boxster S wheel will also work to fill out the same recesse of a 19" Carerra S or Sport wheel.

Here is my thread on 15mm spacers installed with my 18" Boxster S wheels. And because of the explanation in 2nd paragraph, you 19" Carerra wheels for the 987 will yield the same visual results. HTH.

Would you have a picture of the Cayman with the Carrera sports and 15mm spacers? Does it rub at all when going through big bumps.
