18" Alloys

Porsche wheels designed for the Boxster should be a straight swap.
Those for the 996 are a tad wider at the back, and you will need spacers/shims.
This is for a 2001 car. Note for others who may be reading this - pre 1998 Model Year cars cannot fit larger than 17" wheels - the later cars were strengthened to allow for the increased loads on the suspension/body from the larger wheels.
Edited to correct Model Year [8|]

Mark, I think it's more early 96-97 cars.
Tony, you are correct - typo on my part! (now corrected)
