65 ET wheels on CS?

Can anyone confirm 18x10 with 65 offset will fit on the Cayman? If spacer would make it work, what size spacers?

Tks in advance

The cayman needs a 47-48mm offset in the rear. I don't think a spacer will help, but check with someone else on that. I was told they wouldn't work.

I have 18" x 10" BBS LE wheels on my '08 CS. They have a 65 ET and do fit. You will however, need spacers of at least 20mm. Pic of the rear wheel:



Front is 18" x 8.5" with a 56 ET. It also needs spacers, I believe these are 8 mm.



My car is lowered with Bilstein coilovers, and has some negative camber so the top of the rim tucks in a bit more than if you had stock ride height and stock camber. You will also need new studs and lugs, or more accurately, lug bolts to tie it all together, and these parts will add significantly to the cost of the wheel install.

I am quite happy with the fit though.

From the rear tire photo, 265/40/18. Can't read the front size (it's on the bottom), but it looks like a 235/40/18.

Jim is correct. The tires are stock sizes 265/40/18 rear, and 235/40/18 front.
