You can fit a wider tire PROPERLY on the 986 with a 10" wheel & not bother with any fender rolling nonsense.
Sorry, but your statement is nonsense too! when u fit a wider tire on a 10" wheel, you donīt can do an agressive fitment ! without any modifications only a 9,0 or 9,5" with 285/30 is possible... 10" and offset 31 with 285/30 combined with lower suspension donīt fits without modifications at the fender!

Who said anything about running a 285/30 ? I run a 275/30 with no modifications to the fender .

Johnny, of course there are no issue with this height! Try it to get lower and then we can talk about again! Also 19" donīt enhanched the performance of a 986 Boxster. on the contrary, it deteriorates!

Why would I want to lower my vehicle any further ? I'm already at the threshold where I'm barely able to clear a piece of bubblegum on a hot day . LOL ! Also, tracking aside, how do you figure having 19's on my vehicle detracts from it's performance ? Granted, I may have given up some "cushion" (although that's debatable) . However, my goal was to find the lightest, strongest wheel possible in order the reduce unsprung weight and rotational mass . I think that I more than accomplished this goal with the wheel that I chose .
