Widest tires on factory original 16" wheels

[calvani]

Hi All,

Have any of you guys ever driven your Boxster with 225/245 frt/rear combinations with the original/factory 16" Boxster wheels (I am assuming this is the largest possible tire size combination on the 6/7" wide rims)?

I would love to upgrade my wheels with the 18" diameter 5-spoke Carrera rims, but I cannot afford them right now. Since I have to get new tires, I was wondering
if this tire combination (if possible) would work well.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Humberto
