i got 17s no prblem what soever. i had a problem with my 15s
my car origanaly came with 13s my snow tires are 14s and there wont be anysort of issues. make sure the outer diamiter of the tires are the same or real close so your speedo doesnt get messed up

yea 15s on 5th and 16s on 6th gens-
no other way than that unless ur racing to end all racing and u need 17s to fit your 4-6 piston calipers
but fastbrakes.com makes a great big brake kit for 15s and 16s, so its all good!

i hate the way the roll in sidewalls feel. everytime i put my snows on the roll feels funny when cornering. even small corners i can feel it.

I would have to say that your tires are either complete crap or severely under-inflated then. Which snow tires?

toyo proxes 4 195/50/15 rode good but nothing compared to the 205/40/17
same tires in both sizes. i may only beable to tell a diff cuz i dont have powers steering and feel every little thing in the road, but the difference is there
even having little traction on your tires will help (in dry conditions) talk to anyone who races and they will tell u. people pay money to have there tread lowered. i didnt believe it at first but its true
my snow are 185/60/14= large sidewall=lotta roll
