Sorry for bumping the old thread. I tried 235/40 18 on the front of my 2002 Boxster S. The right strut perch rubbed hard on the inner 3/4 inch of the tire. I stepped down to 225 which is fine, but i had been hoping for more tire up front. Is this uncommon - ie there is something funny about my right front strut perch?

Show us a picture of the wheel tire combo. There is NO way that combo should rub. Many times in the past I have run 275's on stock rear wheels UP FRONT!!

How'd you do that? IIRC the 9" rear wheels on my 987 don't have enough offset to fit on the front?
