I figure this question would be appropriate in this thread instead of starting a new one. I'm looking at a set of 17x7 winter wheels with 215/50R17 tires (they would match up to the OEM rolling diameter almost exactly.
The specs on the wheels are:
Offset: 45mm
Backspacing: 5.78"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Since the offset on the stockers are 46, I'm assuming that everything will pretty much match right up. I'm assuming the center ring for a Lancer ES fits the RA/GTS? Cause tirerack won't let me order 17 inchers for the RA...

I have 205/60R16 Barum Polaris on steel wheels for winter. (Bundle from the dealer when I bought the car)
This winter will probably be their last, I'm planning on getting Nokian Hakkapelittas R (or RSi if they still exist) next year...
EDIT: That being said, if were to do it again, I would keep the stock 18in wheels for winter. I spend the savings going from 18 to 16 by having my TPMS reprogrammed for 60$ twice a year + 2nd TPMS set and steel wheels initial cost...
