As far as I know the 97's can't take 18" wheels (this issue was fixed in the 98's, I think).

But... BBS LM's do look AWESOME on a Boxster (perhaps you can get it in 17" rim diameter?)

The 18s will FIT, they will simply ruin the suspension, which is NOT engineered to handle 18s. This was changed later models but in the 97, it is a no-no.

17s work and look fine anyway.
