[BiturboS4] 16" wheels?

[John M. Harrison]

My dealer recommended 16" wheels with snow tires due to the lower cost.
I went for Tirerack's recommended 17x7.5 stock size wheels with Dunlop
Winter Sport tires.  I like them very much - highly recommended.  Don't
know of any reason to go with 16s other than the cost and possible
additional sidewall to bounce off curbs.  Might be more tolerant of big
potholes?

Yes, at least some will. I am running Mille Migla
something-or-nothers in 16x7.5 with 205/55/16 Michelin
Pilot Alpin snows.   The brakes have approximately
zero clearance, so assume not all 16's will fit.
Check tirerack web site, it will tell you what will
work.
