Part fits: Porsche 911 997 Non-Turbo

Looking for some slightly used winters for my 997 C2S.

With or without rims is fine.

Please PM me if you have a lease return and are interested in getting some $$ for them at the end of the season.

They are not needed for a while, so I am willing to be patient for the right set!

Thanks!

18" size is much better - the smaller wheel/tire has much better traction in the snow.

I have the PCCBs. Will 18"s even fit?

Does it really make much of a difference?

Hmm, a call to the dealer or tire-rack might be in order.

Yes, to the second question. The smaller and narrower your footprint, the better off you will be with snow tires. If you look at the serious snow plows (pick-up truck variety), you will see the tires are very narrow - The more weight on a smaller footprint gives you better traction (trade off of course is poorer cornering, etc). A wider footprint is more like a tobogan (sp?) - they will slide more.

I am leaning towards 19s. I am willing to wait till the end of the season/beginning of next season.
