Recommendations on track wheel/tire combo

Topless - are you sure that 17 inchers will fit on a 987 'S'? I've heard elsewhere they won't, but have no personal knowledge.

Mcarr - my experience with my '06 987S was that it chewed up the outer shoulder of the front tires both stock and Rcomp due to insufficient camber when set to factory values. As a start, I suggest maxing out front camber without modifying the car. On my car this amounted to about -1.5 degrees. This will help a bit on the track and won't be a problem on the street. Even better would be about -2.5 degrees, which improves both wear and reduces understeer, but modifications are required for that.

News to me. According to Jim at Tire Rack 17s fit on a 987 just fine as brake clearances are the same as 986. I have fitted 17s on a 987 Cayman 2.7 but never a 3.4
