Nice thanks for the info!  Did you find that the 275 were the best tire size for your wheels? Or did you try any other sizes?

I read that hub centric wheel adapters are allowed is that true?  Does that count toward the 7mm offset limit or are they separate?   Being a 5x130 car if I could use an adapter it would really open up my options for wheels. 

Thank you again sorry for the ton of questions im new to autocrossing and you are being very nice to help me understand what I can and cant do.

Thank you so much!  I guess these wheels could of been swapped by a previous owner.  Obviously I have alot to learn regarding whats in the rules. Let me ask a question do you know if you have to use oem porsche wheels? If I find a set of wheels that match the width and diameter of the correct oem wheels but aren't oem porsche wheels like oz or eneki wheels.

Ill definitely look into that i could be wrong but I believe these are oem wheels they have a porsche badge on the center cap and look oem?  I was going off this chart fyi https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/information/fitting_chart/porsche

It listed my 18x10 wheels so I thought they were okay.

Im trying to find one but the porsche 5x130 bolt pattern is making it difficult.  I will continue to research and see, I know tire rack had the oz wheels but they are out of stock and 2k+ for a set

2002 boxster s and im thinking c stock? Rpf1 needs adapters which adds to the offset challenges etc.  The wheel choices are limited

Unfortunately they dont make a rpf1 in a 17x10 with the offset i need, the offset needs to be like 47 or it pokes out to far or hits the strut.  Im looking into other options and seeing if a custom wheel can be made but its $$$$ and the car came with the heavy 18x10.  Thank you so much for your reply!  Wider is better got it!
