Depending on the brand, sidewall angle and shape can vary between tires . In any case, I've found the following sizes to be an excellent choice with regard to fitment and performance : front/235 , rear/275 . Also, if in fact the fronts are 9 inches wide, you're going to have clearance issues as well . You'll need to lower the offset in order to gain enough inner clearance . However, the trade off will be, that the wheel may then protrude too far outward - causing clearance problems with the fender lip . A 9 inch wheel is not a good choice to use up front on a 986 boxster . Regardless of what spacer you use, I don't think that it will fit .
