I want to switch to a 17 inch rear wheel, where do I start

Hi all,
Saw a couple of threads about using a rear wheel with a 17mm axle.
1. So I've located a wheel and he's verifying the axle size.
What model and years shoul I look for? 1990 907ie ... any others?
2. It has a tyre; a 160-17
3. Disc is included so I'm looking for a rear brake bracket to match?
4. That leaves me in need do a spacer. Was going to bore some zinc washers and glue them together until I got the spacing right. Then have a permanent spacer machined.
Seems realatively cut and dry, but I tend to put the ass in assume, so what am I missing?
