Ekam, I disagree with your statement, "When you upsize, you're inherently going wider as well." There are plenty of 16" wheels out there that are wider than the stock Boxster 17" wheels. Additionally, there are plenty of wheels out there that allow custom barrel sizing and custom diameter. While I will agree most of the time taller wheels are also wider, saying the two factors are inherently coordinated is absolutely false.
