Need input into how wide of a tire i can go on my stock '99 996 wheels...i have got 17" wheels right now with 205/50/17 in the front and 255/40/17 in the rear....was hoping to add more width for better track times and putting some stickier tires. Any thoughts?

I think the popular opinion is that with stock rim width (7 & 9) you can go to a 225 front and a 275 rear. I was considering doing this until I purchased a set of 18's

Check out Tire Rack as the spec section gives a rim width range for each tire size and you can also talk to their customer service guys. They are pretty knowledgeable.
