Fitting wheels on a Porsche Boxster 981

A Porsche Boxster 981 (2012–2016) uses a 5x130 PCD and a centre bore of 71.6 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 ET47 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 M14x1.5, tightened to 160 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
Tyres: original fitment is 235/45R18, 265/45R18. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Generations of the Porsche Boxster

Previous generation: Porsche Boxster (1996–2012) — same 5x130 bolt pattern, but the centre bore goes from 71.5 to 71.6 mm: hub ring one way, no fit the other way. Next generation: Porsche Boxster 718 (from 2016) — same 5x130 bolt pattern, but the centre bore goes from 71.6 to 71.5 mm: hub ring one way, no fit the other way.

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 981 without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.
