Is it worth upgrading my normal summer alloys to 18 x 7.5 and 18 x 10 to replace my current 17's with decent vredstein winter tyres?

Do you think if i get a set of 17" boxster wheels even tho they would cause a bit more oversteer that they would be ok for use with winter tyres?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys, whats a good play to get a set of 4 17" alloys from and price. Also the normal wheels are 7J and 9J however i find some that say 8J is there much difference between and 7J.
There are acouple of sets on eBay at the moment. I should think you will find them on there regularly, as people tend to upgrade to 18's, and sell the 17's.
7Jx17 and 9Jx17 are the standard sizes for F/R. I would stick to those, as 8" on the front might upset the balance
that's what I was thinking, I don't want more understeer [
].
EDIT:I had a quick look at that website, and they seem quite expensive. I was thinking maybe £500 for a set of 4 which i guess is only realistic if i go second hand. Also is there a difference between boxter fittings and 996 wheel fittings?
Ive had a look on google and there doesnt seem to be many places selling 17" alloys in the 7 x 17 and the 9 x 17 size. Is it worth upgrading my normal summer alloys to 18 x 7.5 and 18 x 10 to replace my current 17's with decent vredstein winter tyres? Most places that sell other 17" alloys only seem to do 8 x 17 and 9 x 17 as a set of 4.
Cheers

They should be OK, and will be fine for clearance. The outside faces will be in a very similar position front and rear, and you will get about 11mm more clearance at the rear. Should be no problem for winter tyres. May be a slight advantage in snow.
