I will likely try the Falken 660s next

Well I just got a set of 996 Lt Alloy Carrera wheels for pretty cheap and they're being refinished. I'm going to use them for my track wheels for now. Since I'm not wearing the outer edges of my tires yet, my shop didn't want to try setting my car up with more negative camber. Maybe once I get faster and start wearing tires on they outside edge instead of evenly they said.
Do the 17 x 8.5 rears fit on the front with 255/40 tires if the car still has factory springs rather than coilovers? If they do, I'll keep an eye out for a pair of rear Boxster S II wheels since I already have a set of those.
