Can I fit winter tyres to my Porsche 911?
I own a 2003 Porsche 911 C2, with 18 inch wheels. I want to run the car in the winter and fit winter rims and tyres. Can I reduce the diameter and width of the rim for winter tyres?

Not on this model. Smaller rims won't fit around the brakes. I've driven a 911 991 Carrera S on 20" Alpin P4s in Latvia and it was remarkable. But low profile 18 inch cold weather tyres will be expensive.
