Option question - 17" wheel

dasto · #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2007, 10:37 PM

I notice that on the Posche configurator that the non-S has a wheel option called 17" Boxster II Wheel. If this option is selected, would the front 17" Boxster II Wheel be wider than the stock 17" front wheel?

Can anyone help with an answer to this question?

The OEM Cayman wheel is 17" with 6.5" wide in front, and 8.0" wide in rear.
The Boxster S II wheel is 17" with 7.0" wide in front and 8.5" wide in rear.
So yes the Boxster S is wider both in front and in the rear.
