Winter steel wheels for Evo?

Hello everybody,

What is the smallest size of steel wheels that will fit on the Evo and does Tire Rack have them? What size tyres do you recommend?

Thanks.

You'll be very hard pressed to find a 17" steel wheel anywhere.

Your best bet will be to buy a cheap (and hopefully strong) 17" alloy rim; or buy better 17/18" rims for summer and use the OEM Enkei rims for winter duty.

Yeah best bet is to go aftermarket for spring summer.
Throw winter tires on your stockers.............or find some1 who is selling their stockers.
