    17" wheels fit a Boxster S?

    Wondering if the standard 17" wheels fit an S; would use them for snow tires with the standard Boxster size tires......?

    No - you'd have to use 18". 17" Won't fit. Probably best to get a new set of 18" winter rims and tyres rather than risk removing and replacing tyres on one set of rims. Do you have 18" or 19" at the moment?

    If you have a 987s it wont fit, if you have a 986s it probably will.

    I think you can modify the structure of the car to make it fit?
    So it will fit.

    I'm guessing you mean the calipers would have to be trimmed?

    Is it because of the size of the brake calipers?
