It's tough to find any good selection of R compounds even in 18 inch diameter. I originally was thinking 18" but will any 17's fit over the brakes of a 987? If so does anyone have any suggestions for 17" track wheels and tire sizes for a "minus 2" set up?
The brakes are the same as the standard Boxster--I'd assume that means the rotors are as well. In that case, 17" should fit fine since that's the OEM wheel size for the standard Boxster. Of course, depending on how tight the fitment is that doesn't guarantee that all 17" wheels will fit, but I'm sure you're already aware of all that if you are already in the habit of buying race wheels.

Welcome aboard!
