What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Oh, you don’t have to talk to me about spending crazy money on a 986.......reupholstered seats, new top, both bumper covers resprayed, etc, etc, etc. and mine is only a 2.7, and one with 158,000 miles at that. LOL. The things we do for love!

Love the SE cars, and yours should be a 911 beater.

Overthinking is what I do best!

Been mulling what tire sizes to get for my new-to-me Cayman S II 18" wheels to swap out my 17" wheels on a 2001 Base.

Just ordered these sizes:
215/45/18
245/40/18

They are .6" and .7" inches larger in diameter than my current tires. 25.7" is just inside the 3% rule.

Why did I choose these over the more accepted 225/255 setup? Well, going from 17s to 18s I liked the extra sidewall height. I also like the little longer gearing for high speed cruising. With the lighter wheel/tire combo in the rear maybe the torque loss due to gearing will even out.

Pics/Review to follow next week. Hopefully the rears will not hit the fender during high loads... we shall see!

Thanks GRC! Looking forward to getting the car back in January. I’ll post some first impressions as soon as weather permits
