Like the title says looking for some cheap winter rims or even steel rims to put some winter tires on them. Was wondering if you can go down to a 17" rim?

 

No 17's, brakes are too big.

 

See these threads (at the site with the enhanced server time-out search function) of some guys and their 17" wheels. As for 17" steelies, the one poster says he tried 3 kinds before finding a fit.

My winter set is 17x8 rims with 225-55/17 -- this coming winter will be their first use.

 

I found this on tire rack website for under a grand for tires and rims. http://www.tirerack.com/snow/WinterP...6&autoModClar=

 

17's yes, they do just clear the brakes. I looked for steelies for a little while last year, but gave up and went the same route your looking at through tire rack. 4 wheels, 4 tires, came in just a little under a grand

 

check your local craiglist....i got 4 17'' rims for $205 and they arent bad at all

 

What kind of rims did you get? Mustang, grand prix?

 

neither lol. here is a link to them.

the actual rims

 

Good deal if they came with winter tires.

 

they didnt come with tires. it is still a hell of a deal for rims with only a few scratches. cheapest i coud find for GP rims was around $300 and those looked like ****. got my tires off tirerack and they were $116 a piece.
