99' Boxster Wheel Ideas

[Hamstuh]

Based off the chart i provided not long ago with an 18 inch rim option. Would i be able to fit a
245 50 ZR18 on my 99 Boxster ? Im not sure of the limits themselves to what size i can actually use.
I dont use this car on tracks or racing etc so im not too concerned with a slight decrease in some turning performance

I have no idea as the presence of a sticker of unknown date or origin does not confirm or deny if the tub is the later, reinforced design. And, as others have noted, 18- and 19-inch diameter tires are distinctly harder riding than 17 inches for everyday use. Your car, your money, your choice; but I get the impression this is a "bling" decision, not a performance related one....

Ideally id like to get them for both performance AND looks. Which is why im completely open to any and all information. Ive kept my search limited to 17 inch rims, i just like to be THOROUGHLY informed on any matter so I know which routes are safe and not. I did also post some wheels even lower, locally, someone is selling that are 17 inch rims. Do you happen to know if those would be safe to buy ?

There is no way for me to say without physically looking at the condition of the wheels in question. Used wheels are often a crap shoot because there is no way to remotely check them for concentricity, cracking, "road rash", etc.
