I have 17,s and 19's for my late 97. The original 17's with bridgestones seem to turn in much better and makes the car generally more nimble but the 19's with michelins on seems to make the car feel smoother for some reason, it's hard to explain but it's like you can feel the extra inertia from the larger wheels and it seems to affect the acceleration and de-acceleration too. I actually prefer the 19's, I've also experienced no odd tyre wear even though the 19 inch Michelins' had been fitted to a 996 perviously.
ps check your vin number on your 97, from what i can gather if your's is a late 97 (should have a "W" in the vin number) then your car will be a 98 model as mine is.
