I'm having a hard time finding a good 18" snow tire and steel wheel set in a package, so I want to buy a 17" wheel since I will have an easier time finding a steel wheel in that size. I'm just unsure how to figure out if they will fit my car. If anyone has insight or resources to point me toward, I'd be grateful!

I'm going to call the dealership tomorrow but if I'm being honest, I'm expecting them to just tell me I need to buy some expensive OEM stuff...

I have been using 17" snows since the car was new. Outside of winter months, I use the original 18" wheels and tires. I never noticed any handling differences with the 17". Also, they were cheaper and the tires were cheaper too. However, they were aluminum rims bought new from Costco. I am still running on the original Bridgestones and 1st set of snows.
