I believe others have mentioned in other threads about this subject that the problem with wheels larger than 17 on the earliest 986s is that they were not designed to handle these, and it is possible to cause serious damage to the frame and other parts of the car. Later 986s were strengthened from the factory to be able to handle larger wheel diameters, but I'd say steer clear of anything over 17 for a 97. In my opinion, the look isn't worth the risk of damaging the car or having some failure occur while driving.
