997 Carerra Ground Clearance

[CatherineJ]

Can someone tell me how high off the ground a 911 sits in comparison to a Boxster.

I was possibly thinking of a 997 with 18" Carerra wheels in comparison to a Boxster with 19" Wheels and PASM.

I have a shoulder/back problem that has re-inflamed and I think I have to take the hint that getting in and out of 2 seater roadsters isn't doing me any good.

Thanks in advance.

Is not the question you need answered rather: how high are the seats off the ground in a Carrera vs a Boxster?

I don't think the wheels by themselves would make a difference as bigger wheels will have "smaller" tyres to keep the total diameter the same. Obviously the suspension/ride height could easily vary from car to car.

Not sure but can't see there being a huge difference.
I've got a Merc A Class which is really easy to get in/out of, but granted not really as good a drive !!
Bit of useless info really, apologies for that !

not sure how it compares to a Bosxter but the 997 C2S I've been hooning around in at the weekend caught the speed bumps, where as my 3.2 supersport clears them no problem
