Hi,
Putting wider rubber on the Fronts will tend to neutralize the steering some, but at the expense of Turn-in and possible Tramlining and vibration at higher speeds.
Understeer is inherent in most Production Cars, but it's not really excessive on the Boxster.
If your's is, I would look to an Alignment before deciding to fatten the Rubber. Also, try going up a few PSI in the Rears, this too will mitigate some of the effect. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
