This may help some people justify keeping their old 17" rims or boost their value if sold to support the 18" upgrade.
Thanks.

I am running 17" Boxster S wheels on my base Boxster with S front brakes OFF Track, there is no clearance issue. I run the Cayman S wheels or Allgerita's 8"-F 9"-R on track I have no body clearance problems in either set even with the car lower 1.5" or more I do use spacers on track 17mm front and 7 mm rear. The spacers are only used to help with my high negative chamber on track.
