06 Spec-V Winter Wheels

shoortbuss · Nov 25th, 2005, 06:51 PM

I just got an 06 Spec-V and I need some sort of solution for the winter. It came standard with 17" wheels and 215/45-17 tires. I want to get a set of steel wheels and matching winter tires to use for the upcoming season. What size wheel should I get?? What's the smallest I should use? I don't have the Brembo brake package. Any recommendations for wheel/tire size combo and the best place to get it would be highly appreciated.

16" or 15"

IIRC 14" will not fit on the car

Will the 15 f#$% up my alignment?? What size tire?

It will not mess with your alignment at all. I'd go with a bigger tire size because the smaller wheel will mess with your spedometer a bit, however a bigger (taller) wheel will compensiate for it.

I switch from 16" wheels to 19" wheels for shows all the time without any problem, other then my spedo reads higher with the smaller wheel/tire (IE: spedo reads 70mph actul sped 65mph) just makes it a bit safer because I think I'm doing 5 over but I'm actully doing the correct speed limit.
