You may want to do some searching about placing 18's on a '97 Boxster.
I think Porsche specifically states it's NOT a good idea, based on some fatigue and wear issues specific to the '97 models.
That is correct and actually applies to all models prior to 2000.

The structural changes and 18" wheels were introduced in model year 1998.
Incorrect. When the Boxster S debuted in 2000 it came with 17" wheels standard & 18" were optional.
