Rim Downgrade
I am looking to downgrade my 2011 SX 17" alloy wheels to the EX 16" oem alloy wheels. Will the 16" alloy rim fit on the SX since it has a larger rotor on the front or will the caliper hit the rim?

Just a guess (based on other cars), but larger rotors usually are the reason for larger wheels. _________________________________ Brad "Textbooks teach how to think in-the-box, the real world teaches how to think outside-the-box." ![[Image: ForteSig.jpg]](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q13/RugbyProp1/ForteSig.jpg)

RE: Rim Downgrade
I currently use 16 inch steel rims and higher profile Michelin x-ice tires on my SX Koup as a winter tire and rim package. No problems. I will be swiching back to the 17 inch all season tires (we call them no season tires) and alloy rims in two or three weeks. - Chuck...
