Going from 18" to 17"

I have the Coupe 6MT with Brembos & 18" wheels. I would like to install the stock 17" with winter tires would they fit ? and is anyone selling on this forum selling the 17" wheels.?

I initially planned to buy a winter wheel/tire package from tirerack, but $1600 was just a bit too much

Based on the testimony of a few members here, they fit. But its best to get the coupe wheels as opposed to the sedan wheels.

Re: Going from 18" to 17"

yes, i got a set of ASA KA3's 17x7.5 on Pirelli snowsport 210s, front tires 225/50 and rears 225/55, got them from tirerack by phone for $1340 mounted/balanced/shipped

Most people are getting the Fox5 rims, but i think the ASA's look a little better, but they are about $10 more for each rim (i think its worth it!)

Here is a pic of the KA3's

IMO looks WAY better than the stock 17's
