Yes and NO.
They will fit, but are not recommended due to structural issues.

Surely if you fit a larger diameter rim you would fit a lower profile tyre thus keeping the overall diameter the same. Why would this create structural problems?

Put 19" Carrera Sport wheels on my 02 Boxster, Fit no problem with a 55x8.5 fronts, and 42x10 rear. Looked great, and had more rubber on the road!

What fun is that? :D

Got to leave a little 'Remember me' rubber or are talking about balls of rubber? (Marbles are only good on a race track)

19" wheels work fine on my '98 Boxster.
It just makes the car pretty uncomfortable, but it handles great and I never had any structural issues.
