I just bought some 19"'s in boxster offsets 8.5" front 55mm and 10" rear 42mm and plan on putting on 255/30/19's in front and 265 or 275/30/19's on the rear. This should cure all understeer issues and still give me plenty of traction for the 3.6 or 3.8L X51 engine i plan on putting in the car.

I am not sure why more people arent onto the wider front tire bandwagon. With an 8.5" wide front wheel i would think you would want more meat then the 225 or 235 would provide. This should give you a nice balance.
