Winter wheels and tires

I need an extra set of wheels to put winter tires on my 2000 Boxster S and have some questions.

What is the minimum size wheel to clear my big red brakes?
Are Blizzacks still king of the sub 46’ degree road?

Also have a couple of sets of aftermarket BMW wheels in case someone has some to swap but I’m not sure how to post that in classifieds.

Chris, when you say BIG Red Brakes, are they stock S calipers or an "upgrade" from another model, like a Turbo S or something? If they are stock calipers then look at Tire Rack, plug in the info for your car and the standard and optional sizes will appear.

Get more of whatever size you're using. Check Craigslist. I've had my eyes on these,

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/wto/d/2004-porsche-boxster-oem/6546479993.html

Just an example.
