G'day all,

I've had a pretty good search across the forum but can't find an answer to my question - apologies if this has indeed been convered elsewhere but it's midnight, I'm still at work and I can't find anything right now...

Anyway, I've picked up a spare set of OEM 17" Boxster S rims for my MY02 S for track days, and once the existing Bridgestone S-02s are worn out I'm planning to replace them with Toyo R888s.

The rear tyres aren't a problem - the Toyos are available in 255/40 17 - but they don't seem to make a 205/50 17 tyre to exactly match the standard size on the Boxster S fronts. The closest they can offer is 205/40 17 or 215/45 17.

(Note that these are Australian availabilities - perhaps other sizes are available in the US / elsewhere but that doesn't help me too much...)

From what I can gather, both sizes *should* be okay on the 7Jx17 front rims, but I'd really prefer to back that up with real-world experience, so if anyone has/is running either of these sizes on a standard Boxster S 17" wheel I would really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks,

James
