Boxter wheels for notch, do they fit?
Does anyone know whether 8 or 8.5 x 17 Boxter wheels would fit on the back of a 1970 notch?
Cheers,
Patrick

Thanks for that (edited my profile...)
I saw a notch with Boxter wheels in the forum ( http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=71635 ), so did the stud pattern change?

I am slightly confused (still new to all the forum/tech talk thingy) so the Porsche wheels might fit? John is another forum member from the coast?
Thanks

Try earlier 1997 16" Boxster wheels
they have a better offset
16" x 6" x ET50
and
16" x 7" x ET40

You'll find it hard to fit anything more than 6 wide without rubbing. I think the question is will boxster wheels look good?
My advice on Porsche wheels, something period like ats cookies or Fuchs
As far as modern Porsche wheels go have a look for D90s - they can look great on notchies
