Well, if you're wife is like mine, you'll have to create a very long explanation as to why you NEED these larger rims versus why you WANT these larger rims. Lots of luck there, singapore boy! Singaporean women are just about the smartest I've come across.

A 97 may require spacers and will probably require having the brake lines tied back so they won't rub... no big deal. A zip tie works great for this and your mechanic will have some lying around.

The spacer isssue has to do with the offset of the 18's you purchase. Aftermarket companies are now making correct offsets for the Boxster. Search the forum for the numbers as it's been posted here a bunch of times.
