Yep, people in LA have been squeezing undersized tires onto rims for visual effect over the last 40 years. Nothing especially revolutionary about it. Party on dudes. Call it art, call it tripe, call it anything you want. It's your car, your dough, and it's still a free country.

Actually, this post was started with my intentions of proving that a 20x11 inch wheel on a Boxster S

Maybe I should have made it clear...but really?

Below are actual pictures as the initial one through my iPhone. No photoshop

The bottom line is, an 11 inch wide wheel will not ascetically or functionally fit properly on a 986 boxster . Period !

That set-up not only looks ridiculous - it must perform as such ! What is that a 245 tire on the rear ?

Bottom line, it doesn't matter what you think. It is what it. And it is a 20x11 wheel on a Boxster S. Live with it. Like it or not

Below are pictures of my stock wheels

I don't feel like I have to explain myself but before people start flipping out and having a heart attack, I swap my wheels depending on what i am doing. The 20x11's when I wanna cruise and the stock 18's when I want to be serious...Just an FYI before people start their assumptions..again
