Boxster Spec Allows 245/40/17 Square

[maj75]

Would there be any problem or advantage for running stock 17" rear wheels on the front with 245s on the front and normal 255s on the rear?

I feel like the car pushes too much right now and that a little more tire up front might help. I would not want less tire on the rear as I can overepower the rears now.

This would be for DE events on a Boxster S.

Is there any square experience for 18" wheels. There is a little more contact patch there so there maybe less favourable results. I already have 15mm spacers up front. I find this takes the twitchiness out of the steering wheel with the wider track.

Yep, forum member SBD rolled his fenders and ran 285/30/18 square. Tons of grip for AX but top speed suffered a bit.

Wow what is your steering effort like on slow corners? What wheels and ride height allowed you to fit in the fenders???? Jeeeez.... how many shims do you have in your LCAs

You could run either 245 or 255s on the front. Running square allows 4 wheel rotation so you can make the most out of your tire budget though. Some fast Boxsters in SoCal run 245/275 on 8.5 & 9.5 wheels to good effect.
