Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and thinking about getting a 2000-2002 Boxster S. I'm planning to go test drive one this weekend, but how different is it than the 911 Carrera of the same year? I drove a 2002 911 last year and loved it, but I've been considering the Boxster because it's cheaper and I think it looks better than the 911 convertible. Also I know the 18" wheels come with 265 tires in the rear, but how wide are the rims? I was wondering if they are wide enough to fit 285's like the 911 has on the same style wheel? Any help is much appreciated!
