Actually btwn my Box w/ 18's and his w/ 19's I didn't find it harsher like everyone states. I think my buddy is running Eibach Springs on 19's. Def. 10/10 for looks. One thing to mention is his Boxster is mainly a show/competition car. I take mine for rips on a regular basis,so the 18's suit me just fine for ride quality.

What size tires are on those 18's? My pal who had a BoxsterS and now has a GT3 for track use recommended that the Boxster on 18's run 245 front tires 275 rear for maximum grip. Fills up the wheel well perfectly.

My 18's are 225/40 front and 265/35 rear. Much better grip than the 17's I had. I think there are a number of posts on PPBB re: this issue with size. Not sure if 245's on the front will stick out or not. I def. didn't want them to stick out past the wheel well as I have another buddy who went big on the front and head it sticks out. I would take a look at your buddy's ride and see if you like the look. To each is his/her own. Don't forget to add a 1" drop on H&R's or Eibach's to finish your ride off if you haven't done it already.
