Tire width?

[jaybird]

Greetings all-
My wife fell in love with a 2002 Boxster last night and it is now in my garage. Purchase from a local dealer and I have all the info. Question right now is Tires? I have read through several strings and think I have a problem. The car has the tires on it.

Front: 245/35zr/19
Rear: 285/30zr/19

Dealer said he just put two new front tires on it, Front tires are rubbing, obviously, when you make a decent turn. You can see the rub mark in the pictures. I'm also not sure these are the correct rims for this car. I have included pictures. Rims do look good on the car. Just confused. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

That wheel setup is quite large for that wheel-well. You have two choices:

1. get lower profile 30 to 20 percent (middle number). @ 30%, it's 0.5" less; @ 25%, it's 1" less; and so on...
2. get new wheels and tires.
