Smallest rim size for 997 C2S
What is the smallest rim that will fit a 2006 C2S? I am looking at getting snow tires and rims. Preference would be as small as possible to get the size wall as tall as possible. Will 17" fit?

Thanks for the quick response. I will continue to look for a set of 18" then. I assume the 19" snow tires are even more expensive than the 18" so it doesn't make sense to look. Correct?

19 in snow tires are available but more expensive. 18's work great as they give more rubber for winters potholes. Also, twice a year you'll enjoy the difference in feel between the 18s and 19s. It's like trading in your sports coupe for a sports car. 17s will not clear the s brakes.

Why 17?
- Cheaper
- Tires are narrower and therefore better in the snow (215 on the front, 255 rear - exactly the same as I had on my Boxster and they were great all winter)

Simgr,
That's interesting! When I go on their website and pick 17" package, nothing show up. The cheapest 18" package is $1,500. How much is your 17" package? I am looking for 17" package for exactly the same reason.s

Which handles better, 18s or 19s? I always thought the bigger wheels are for looks and not necessarily better performance.
