Hi all. I have a 2003 Boxster with 16" wheels (why would you? ) and I want to go to 17" wheels. Will this effect the speedo reading and if so can it be re programmed Present tyres 205/55 - 16 front and 225/50 - 16 rear. Want to fit 205/50 - 17 front and 255/40 - 17 rear. Thanks Dave

I think 255/40/17 is comparable to 225/50/16. I use 255/40/17 for summer and 225/45/17 snow for winter. Speedo deviation should be insignificant.

You can go 225/45/17 up front on factory 17x7 rims.
