I'm a longtime Porsche fan and owner (914, 928S and 911). I purchased a 99' Boxster 3 months ago and have been cleaning it up, man has it come a long way! I've included pics, including how it looked when I bought it.

Here's the deal, the car has very low miles and apparently sat for a long time in a previous owners garage. The tires that are on it were discontinued in 2011 according to Discount Tire and must be replaced.

I don't mind the wheel but hate the tires. I want to go with a lower profile tire but feel like the gap between the tire and wheel well will be to large and the car will look unbalanced. I've been looking at wheels and have picked out 19" Ruger Mesh wheels and Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires in 235/35-19 / 285/30-19.

Any thoughts about this? Anyone have any photos of the stock wheel with lower profile tires? Should I make this investment in new wheels or am I being neurotic about this?

Hi Michael, nice car but FYI, you have posted this in the 968 forum, not the 986 or Boxster forum. You will be able to find some informed opinions over there, If you have any 968 questions, ask away.

Oops, how did I manage to do that! I have posted it in the correct forum. I'm not seeing a way to remove it from this forum. Perhaps if a moderator see it it can be deleted.
