17" Boxster/Carrera Spare Wheel

[NYBugman1972]

Well, I recently acquired a Porsche 17" spare wheel for my Super. Just to let you guys know, it fits the spare wheel well perfectly and the offset is perfectly fine, at least for my purposes. It clears the fender from lock to lock no problem and will clear my future 13" brakes. All I needed to do was remove the 3/8" spacer I have on the front and VIOLA! Tire size is a 105-series tire, but looks about the same as a 135-series tire for a 15" wheel. plenty of room in the back. The only "problem" is that it is taller than my 205-40's in front, which probably will cause some steering problems, but it's good enough to get me to a tire shop or into my driveway.

Now I have a little more confidence when I take the bug out. Well worth it IMO. Also, it's a really nice red powdercoated finish, so it looks pretty nifty too
