    I want to do a smaller rim/better tire for winter. However, I contacted a dealer near me and they said that they don't believe 16's will fit due to the larger rotor size then the ES. Can anyone confirm this?

    i havent done it but its all over the forums that 16 is lowest u can go due to the rotor size, i cant pinpoint where exactly but if u look around you'll stumble on it for sure!

    well sorry to disappoint you guys and gals but 16's wont fit the GTS...at least not the 2009 one...i tried but the break caliper is in the way...17 is the smallest i can go, then again i dont know about the ES or the 08 GTS
