Tire sizing, what size do I need for a 99 Boxster?

Ghostrider - thanks for the info, hopefully Mr Danger will chime in

JCB - Looks good!!! I want a look that fills up the entire wheel well and is flush with the car which looks like you achieved.

I personally think that tires that would work on the rims you've specified are too big and would present too much rolling mass for a 200hp engine. Your car may look better with fatter/larger OD wheels and tires, but I think it will drive worse...and I don't mean in a subjective sort of way; I mean in a measured, performance by numbers kind of way.

They are the stock 18" Turbos that came with they car. Now mine is an S model with the sport suspension...not sure if they will clear the fender so somebody will need to ring on what they have purchased for their base models.
