    Can anyone tell me what other size rims that would fit on a 09 GTS besides
    the stock 18's. I was told that because the front discs are a little bigger,that
    they would not accomodate 16 in rims but 17's should be O.K.

    Any feedback on this..

    just wondering! why do you want a smaller wheel? 18's look good on it. i also think 17 because of better price on tires.

    most likely for snow tires i bet.
    i wanted to do smaller rims too for winter but then i talked to dealership and they said 17's are probly smallest it can go due to our big ass brake pads.

    09 dealer says that 17" are the smallest or when you hit bumps 16"s might rub

    Brian 95638,

    Brian is right, the only reason I want smaller rims is for the winter. A smaller wheel does make for better traction in the snow. You definitely don't want a wide tire in the snow.
