you might consider a smaller size wheel unless you have brembos.

Steelcase Tire is also a good place.
I've done lots of business through them.

Standard Autowreckers...they have a new/used tire and rim shop, guarantee they will give you the best price.

Try tireworld in Brampton... they always have good deals.

As for a smaller size on your Brembos, there have been a few threads on 17inch rims for Brembo package. THe rim itself will fit, its the offset that people usually have an issue with. Ive read some guys install spacers and dont have a problem.

IMO, I would never run another 18" winter setup. You cannot get a decent "snow" tire for 18" rims, just ice tires, and usually they are high performance ice tires. I would definitely try to find some 17s with the offset or with spacers and rim 17" W409 Hankook IPikes. Great tire and very aggressive for snow and ice. Also studable if you order them north of north bay
