Default Boxster 19" wheel fitment help

Hi All,

New to the forum. Currently own an 87 944 and 2000 Boxster.

I have purchased a set of 19" wheels- 8.5" Front 10.5" Rear, +45 Front +52 Rear with 235/35 fronts and 315/25 rear.

Anyone with experience as to what I will need to do to make things fit? I have consulted some high-ups in the accessory department at a major tire shop that say they will fit. I have searched threads and no one really talks about tire size.

Any help would be appreciated.

The .wheels will mount up but you most likely will have an issue with the rears. In spirited driving, you may have an occasional scrape on the fender well

Update... Wheels and tires on. Only mod required was a 1/4 inch spacer in the rear to clear brake calipers. As of yet no rubbing at all. Massive tire for this car!

That's an awful lot of stagger front to rear. I would expect huge amounts of understeer when pushed to the limit.
