Difference b/w 40 and 35 series on rear 265 tire is theoretically 13.25 mm...barely 1/2in (assuming manufactured w/ 0% tolerance variance - LOL). And that's if, and ONLY IF, 35 series is even available (it may well not be and mfg could hedge this a bit to keep sku counts down). Not to mention a '99 Boxster does not have nearly the current day electronic "nannies" which could (though very doubtfully) be even affected ~ 1/2" variance (again, sans tire wear).
Again, hope you know him and meant that post as tongue in cheek. If not I'd suggest seeking a better understanding of tire sizes.

Hey now, strongly worded in review of my own words, yes; I said ASAP and didn’t mean it.. These tires are fine and enjoy but every time I fall into a car I think about what I want to change. Tires are obvious. I like soft sticky rubber and was sharing my thoughts. I’ll stay with stock sizes cuz someone smarter then me figured that out.
Enjoy the ride, keep talking here and distill what we say to where it makes sense for you. Steer to slide.
