Do I have 1" all around the existing tire to fit into the bodywork is the question.
The profile can change, but the overall diameter has to stay roughly equal. I take it the 225/50/18 is for the front? It's almost 2" larger in diameter compared to the stock 225/40/18s.

My Boxster displays (digital) 3mph faster than actual speed, fairly consistent.
