I have 17" wheels/tires on my 2010 boxster, and I am looking at 18" winter tires for the winter.

Can I simply replace my current 17" tires and rims with 18" tires and rims? Or does it need anything else to support 18" tires?

Also I am thinking about not spending the extra money for the TPMS sensors in the winter tires. Minus the warning indicator being displayed all the time is there anything else that I should be aware of like constant warning sounds or other that may sway my decision to skip putting the TPMS on the winter tires.

Thanks

Tim

I apologize in advance for the simple question.
