1OK don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. My wife and I tried them on our Boxster because others said how good they are on their non-Porsche cars. That may be so but they are horrible on the Boxster for what a Boxster does best...cornering. We got ours on a 90 day love them or trade them deal. Yes they were great for straight line traction on wet/snow covered streets. We even took the Boxster trail riding a couple times on the snow covered dirt roads in the mountains. They did great for that. The bad is cornering and high speed runs. They scared the hell out of both of us. Under steer is bad and grip in the corners just isn't there. On a high speed run the car felt wavy/floaty and it was not as stable as the old tires we took off. (Worn out). Removed DWS and put on new Kuhmo ASX. Back to good handling and stable high speed runs. Since ASX is no more, last set was X4. They do well too for cheap tires. Don't put DWS on your Boxster.

No fender flares, 18x11 ET45 in the rear with 8mm spacers to clear the suspension. 18x8 ET50 in front with 15mm spacers but i want to get 25mm spacers for the front to be more flush with the fenders.
