wheels and fitment for the 986

Hi all, I'm a newb around here and currently I own a 2002 Boxster S with 40K on it. I also have a Q7 and a B7 S4 but I'll leave that on the Audi threads.

I'm looking for 19' wheels for the Boxster as I already have the turbo 18 but they look too way too small...I already got a coilover set up but will not install until I find a set of nice wheels.

I saw some Work RXX with Cayman offsets but was too +38 is too aggressive in the rear. Fender must be rolled.

Please educate me in terms of the offset and different brand of rims that makes them. I'm really only interested in pre loved sets. Tks!!

Assuming that you are referring to a 19x10 wheel, you should have no problems using a wheel of that size and offset. In fact, taking into consideration that at some point you will be installing adjustable coilovers, having a lower offset will prove to be beneficial as it relates to clearing the adjustment ring on the perch. I have an '02 S with 19x10 +31 offset wheels on the rear, and I have no clearance issues or the need to roll the fenders .
