There are several 20" wheels listed on ebay for the Boxster. 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear.

The problem lies in that the sidewall of the tire becomes very thin at that diameter. Ride quality and durability deteriorate.

I also think that for a proper look 19 inch is the max for the car, Anything else starts to look cartoonish.
