    so santa is buying half of my snowtires.
    but what will u do will u find a set of steelies and put tires on them or use the stock rims.
    also would u stay with the 17"rim or go smaller.
    i have a 05lgtwagon limited and was told that 16" rs wheels will fit my car?

    16" steelies (I got mine from an 08 2.5i; discount tire or tirerack is able to get them for your car as well) or RS 5- or 6-spoke wheels should fit and clear your brakes.

    EDIT: I am incorrect. :(

    if you can clear 16's which you can do it for purely the lower cost of tires in general, including winters.

    I don't think the 16" rs wheels fit a '05 LGT.
