Winter wheels

[Forerunner]

Does anyone know where I could find 17" steel rims for my '03 sport. Any rim would be fine, I'm just trying to spare my mags the harsh winters we have in Canada.

Hi I have a rendez-vous with my dealer next week to check if i can put a 16" rim for winter tire. With front brake of 13", my dealer don't sure if t possible.

Did you know if it possible to install a 16" rim?

Thank!

Hey "jeanfb" is that a trailer I see on your picture under your name? If so, how about giving me a few pointers in this thread:

Jean,
I was told that the sport model requires a 17" rim because of the bigger brakes. I don't think the 16" will fit. Keep us posted!

Your right forerunner it not fit.... But what you think about the grandtrek AT-20 Dunlop tire for canadian winter? (mud and snow i think?)

Just found a new set of limited 17" wheels on ebay for $436 plus shipping. Keep an eye out on ebay. They will make a nice 2nd set for winter tires. These have got to be $200-$300 each from the dealer.
