Straight answer for tire size

I have the 8 inch front and 10 inch rear rims.
What is the maximum size I can run on the boxster with these rims...with and with out the 15mm spacer.

Currently I have 225s on the front and 265's on the rear.

By the way

By the way Boggtown is that a GT3 front on your car? I have the GT3 as well...so my question is where did you get the grill to fit the nose....

You failed to mention what diameter your wheels are? 16, 17 or 18"?

Diameter shouldnt matter. I put an aluminum mesh in after I cut it to shape and secured it with bondo glass. Id say without spacers because its generally getting the rim to fit is where you need spacers, but if it does rub a little on the inside strut, spacers would fix that.

If I remember correctly the Sport Classic 2 doesn't come in a 10" width. I could be wrong though. You might want to double check. I think its a 18X9
