Steelies for winter

I have a 2008 MCS with 17" rims with the run flat tires that were replaced about 3k miles ago before I bought the car. I want to buy a set of steelie rims and winter tires or all seasons with a better tread for winter. Can I get 15" or 16" rims on it for better winter tires? What is the bolt pattern on 08 MCS?

Take a look at Tire Rack's web site --- plug in your car description and search for wheels. You'll get access to more info than you can handle.

Yup, go to the pros and ask them. You will be well taken care of: tirerack.com or discounttire.com.

if it's an MCS then the smallest wheel you can go is 16" diameter because of the brake size

Edit: didn't see your second question, the bolt pattern is 4x100

Damn, those look perfect. Too bad I'm like 1000 miles away from you!
