Found the actual Q&A from the PCA.org Tech section that made me think 19" wouldn't work:

Q: "Champion makes a 19" for the Boxster. Would I risk suspension damage on my stock "S" and/or should i upgrade the suspension? If not, what negative attributes should i be concerned w/ a 19", other than the stiffer ride?

A: "They will rub even after modifications to the front wheel wells and eventually go through them. The 19" wheels are more susceptible to bending and curb checking do to the low profile tires. These are just some of the problems with the 19” wheels on a Boxster . Needless to say Porsche does not recommend that they be installed on one either."

I'm glad I was able to check with you guys before basing my decision on this Q&A.

Thanks, I look forward to buying my 19" wheels relatively soon.
