Anyone,

Wasn't there a TSB about this? I checked the TSB section and did not see it.

thanks

Yes, there is a footnote on the Summer Tires and Wheels TSB (4/04 4440)- 18" wheel/tire options that states:

Only for vehicles from M.Y. 1998 (W).

The first reference publication I have was in May 1998. From the tech intro for that year.

Funny how some tires approved in the US are not approved in other countries.

There is a new article on this subject on the PCA tech site.

For those that don't know Peter, he is a PCA tech advisor, works at our local dealership, helps the local owners, and owns a Boxster.

Since I own a 1997 I asked Peter many years ago why 18" wheels were not approved and if there was a retrofit kit for these reinforcements. He did not know of a kit and I have never heard of one.
