The spare tire plus wheel is the same diameter as any Boxster standard wheel/tire specification. Doesn't matter if you have 16, 17, or 18 in wheels.

If you've mounted non oe-spec tires or wheels+tires, you will have a diameter problem and you might hope your flat is a front tire, as of course it's a problem to have different diameter wheel/tires on an axle with differential.

Yes, nice to carry a big bag to put your flat tire in to keep the dirt off your upholstery or girlfriend.
