Fitting wheels on a Porsche Boxster

A Porsche Boxster (1996–2012) uses a 5x130 PCD and a centre bore of 71.6 or 71.5 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

PCD: 5x130 required. See all vehicles with 5x130.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 71.6 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 71.6 mm.
Offset: the original is ET52 to ET57. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
Fixings: thread M14x1.50, tightened to 130 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
Tyres: original fitment is 205/50R17, 235/45R18. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

The original specs vary with the year, trim or wheel size. Identify your version from the tyre size marked on the sidewall.

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore

Same 5x130 PCD and same 71.6 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Porsche Boxster without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.

Same PCD, different centre bore

These vehicles also use 5x130 but with a different centre bore: their wheels need a hub centric ring if their centre bore is larger than 71.6 mm, and will not fit if it is smaller.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Porsche Boxster?

A Porsche Boxster (1996–2012) has a PCD of 5x130: 5 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 130 mm in diameter.

Does a Porsche Boxster need a hub centric ring?

The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Porsche Boxster is 71.6 or 71.5 mm. A wheel with a larger centre bore is fitted with a hub centric ring that brings it down to the hub diameter. A wheel with a smaller centre bore cannot be fitted.

What offset (ET) for a Porsche Boxster?

The recorded original offset is ET52 to ET57 depending on the version and wheel size. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.

What tightening torque for the wheels of a Porsche Boxster?

The specified tightening torque is 130 Nm for M14x1.50 fixings. Tighten in a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and check the tightness again after about fifty kilometres.

Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Porsche Boxster?

With the same PCD (5x130) and the same centre bore (71.6 mm), these include: Porsche Taycan, Porsche Panamera, Porsche 911 997 GT2, Porsche 911 997 GT3. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
