I am also interested in these mustang wheels, i have only seen a few 17" wheels that fit the brembos without spacers. I need to pick up my research soon to find some tires before the snow flies.

Right, one of my friend uses Nokian winter tires and has really good review on them too. But I think I will go for Blizzaks instead. Thanks for the inputs guys.

sorry don't have any pics will take it when I put them on hopefully not anytime soon (fingers crossed for extended "summer" weather),

+1 for Nokian hakkapallitta's R I bought them last year and they stick like glue

I've always had good experiences with Nokian's and Gislaved's on my previous cars.

Contact Billy at Tires23 for your tire needs.

best place for Nokia Hakka's is tiresbyweb. Free shipping to Can-am mailboxes in the falls. Drive down there with your steelies and old snows on the car. Pick up the new ones. Drive around the corner to Dayton Tire on Pine Ave. Swap the tires, come back over the rainbow bridge...

I had Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60s on my 17" rims last winter and they were awesome. I went out in blizzards without the roads plowed yet, up hills, all over the place and I had no problems at all. Kinda pricey but very worth it. Even at -30C the tires still grip really well on icey roads, and snow covered is no problem.

Here you go, I bought these used for really cheap hence the curb rash, thought about refinishing them but it's my winter beater mode
redpearl99 - Did you end up finding winter tires?

i have Hankook Ipikes on the wife's CRV. they bite like crazy...they take the fun out of sliding that thing around. makes for a great ski vehicle though! we'll be heading up to Whistler this weekend, already 400cm of snowfall!

my car stays inside if we ever get a snow day so i'll just put the stock 17's back on with the ASX all seasons in a few weeks.

I got mine in the US last year. Paid 600 installed and drove back with them on the car. I forgot to tell the customs guy. LOL www.tiresbyweb shipped free to can am mailboxes in niagara falls ny

gcoupe toronto where did you find your mustang wheels? i have a 04' 6mt with brembo and can't find any 17's that will clear.

Anyone else know of any 17" wheels that will clear brembo?

hopefully the snow stays away for a couple more weeks till i put on the winters :S
