Q, my wheels have arrived and a new quandry has popped up. Front tire size! The front wheels are 9.5 inches wide. With all my concerns with the rears being so large, I didn't even think about the fronts. Porsche 18" set up is 225/40 however a 225 won't fit my wheels properly. What size tires are you running up front? Do you know if 235/40s will fit?
By the way, I'm still drooling over your car...should you ever decide to just give it away to a good home, call me!
A 9.5" wheel is up around a 255/265 width tire...

I dont expect that will fit up front...

Check tirerack (http://www.tirerack.com) to see what size tire will fit properly on your 9.5" wide wheel...

will a 245/35/18 fit on an 8x18 inch wheel on the front of a boxster?

What mods did you have to make to fit those wheels? Did you have to use spacers? Did you roll the fenders?
