997 wheels for 986?
997 wheels for 986?
I have 997 Carrera S wheels (Lobster folk wheels).
19x8 fronts are et57
19x11 rears are et67
Do they fit to 986? Anyone with this setup?
All comments are welcome!

Even with 15mm spacers those rears will be tight. Expect to roll the fenders and tie back brake lines. 19x11s will also slow the car down a bunch due to rotating mass/unsprung weight if performance matters to you.
so it is possible, because im selling mine, and someone who has a boxter, wants them, but doesn't know if they fit... 19x8-19x11
No way, no how will the 997 wheels fit your 986 ! For example, even with my boxster, that has a very aggressive wheel fitment ( 19x8 +31 & 19x10 +31 ) along with adjustable coilovers, an 11 inch wheel would not fit. Given the size and offset of that 11 inch wheel, it would result in a loss of 49 mm's of inner clearance, and the wheel would retract inward 23 mm's. No spacer would ever correct this problem. Moreover, this would create an even worse situation for a 986 with the factory suspension set-up.
