Porsche even had a TSB: TSB #4407, dated March 4, 1999: " Eighteen inch wheels are not approved for use on Boxsters. Use of eighteen inch wheels on Boxsters under severe conditions may result in structural failures of the body and/or suspension".
I appreciate the detailed information! I really do want to make sure this car lasts as long as possible so i will stick with 17s and keep my search limited to that size. I might be relatively young for a 986 owner at 21 so im still new to ALL information regarding this car, but im doing my best to learn as much as i can so i appreciate any assistance!
