tire/wheel fitment question
I purchased a new set of factory wheels. They are as follows:
Car is a 2008 Boxster 987
Genuine Porsche Carrera S III & Boxster/Cayman 20" Rims
Front Rims 9813621601 8.0X20 ET57
Rear Rims 9813621631 9.5X20 ET45
I'm looking to get a good R compound tire and the only one I've found in sizes close to stock are:
245/30ZR-20 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT CUP 2
285/30ZR-20 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT CUP 2 MO1
I suspect I need spacers to not have rubbing issues with these wheels and offsets, but would really like to know if anyone here as successfully put something like this together before and whether they needed spacers and if yes what sizes. Based on reading other threads I believe the front could use a 10mm and the rear a 15mm. But that is calculated vs. real experience. Anyone have any thoughts or real experience? Thanks - and much appreciated.
