18" to 17" wheel swap

Hello,

Many of you seem to switch rims from smaller to bigger diameters. My question is are there any problems going the opposite way? I have a 99 C2 coupe that came with 18" Porsche wheels. I'd like to put some performance rubber on those and save them for track days. I'm hoping to find a set of 17" Porsche rims and put some lower performance tires on them for comfort, cost, wet traction, etc. to use for daily driving.

If I stick with the correct (porsche origional) size tires would there be any problem with doing this? Is it a direct swap or were the cars specifically set up for the factory rim size they came with in some way?

BTW if anyone out there has a set of 17" Porsche rims they'd like to sell, feel free to PM me.

Thank you,

Doug

Well I just noticed that someone is selling a nice set of 17" twists in the classifieds. Just what I'm looking for so if anyone has an answer for this, I'll pick them up.
