I have tried to fit a set of Porsche calipers, carriers and 312mm Ultramax discs to me FR TDI, thought I would be smart and trial fit them along with the wheel to find that the original FR wheels DO NOT fit over Porsche calipes :censored:
I had searched on here prior to buying / fitting and although some people say they will fit without spacers I can confirm do they f:ban:k.

So it back to the drawing board to find some spacers..............

Sorry for the delay guys.....
Calipers are Porsche Boxster rears (similar to 996) - 170quid ebay
Carriers / hoses from Dave Brown - about 160quid IIRC
Pads are DS2500 to suit calipers - 125quid from Badger Bill
Discs are EBC Ultramax 312mm - 161quid from Larkspeed
DOT 4 oil - 12quid

Plus:
10mm Forge spacers from Awesome - 62quid (no member discount though :cry:)
10mm longer wheel bolts from pcs-uk - 22quid for 10bolts

when the spacers & bolts arrive I will get these fitted and post some pics for you all....

i fitted 996 rears on 18 inch inovit cts, perfect(tight) fit

as said spacers will cure this for you, measure the distance they dont clear by and use spacers to suit.

are they boxster rears or boxster s?

some boxster rears dont fit on 312x25mm discs?
