It is too true. I said the recommended size, not what you can get fit on a rim.

Understand this, 9" rim, 275 tire is 10.83 inches wide. That's not a proper combination. Not even close. 265 is stretching the the recommended size for a 9" rim.

Please by all means ignore the tire/wheel site I posted.

This is the wheel I have decided to go with on my Boxster. Notice the rec tire size, from Tire Rack? 265 and that's on a 10" wheel. However I will be going with 275 tires on the rear.

Please please please send me photos of your car after you fit these on. I'm looking to buy the same.
