Is it possible? yes. Is it a good idea? no. Honestly I wouldn't go wider than a 275.

I run 275's I have about a credit cards room between the tire and strut, car is lowered about 1.5 inches and I had to roll the fenders

I agree with the previous post that I wouldn't go wider than 275

nice ride cold warrior. but I think they are talking about a stock rim. unless you are talking about fitting 295s on a boxster.

I was. I know the OP was talking OEM rims, but I was under the assumption that other options were being explored. Sorry for the oopsie.

CW, I'm surprised you're not getting any tire rub in the rear on the fenders? Looks quite tight for a street car, where you must have sufficient travel in the suspension.
