will sedan 16" wheels fit on coupe w/17"

I'm curious if I could mount he 16 inch rims from a sedan to my 17 inch coupe. -Gasp!!!- Why would I want to do this? Because snow tires should have high sidewalls and a skinnier tread patch...and 16" wheels and tires are much cheaper and have a better selecton. It seems like it would work since the donut spare has a 16" rim...

They will fit and work better than 17' in deep snow. You can use 215/60/16 or 205/65/16 (which is OE size for the sedan 2003 in US).

the sedan has always come with 16s and the 17s are an upgrade. I did check and found we seem to have the same size brakes between the sedan and non-brembo coupe.

anyone try this yet?

I don't think 16s ever came on any of the Gs sold in Canada. Only in the base package in the US.

16's come with the base Cloth seat version only. That's in the US. Don't know what crazy things you Canadians do with your cars. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

We crazy Canadians never had the option of buying the base cloth seats. A base leather package was the lowest level option ever offered.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
