I thought it a bit funny.. Worry about "Porsche rated" tires on your "Italian replicas".

A 275 or 285 would be a preferred width for a 10" wide rim. Porsche doesn't have a prefered tire because they don't equip (base or option) a 10" rear wheel on the Boxster. Now, depending on any mods to the car, in particular the suspension, this is where you could have fitment problems. But, they should work ok.
