Snow Tires and 16'' Wheels

[Ptone]

I planned to buy a full set of OEM size snow tires this fall but I took a corner a little too wide last month and blew a tire. It wasn't worth replacing just one tire since they were pretty worn so I bought a new set of summer tires. The information I found in these forums helped me decide to go with the 235/50 ZR17 Avons. Now since I used up my tire money I need to consider some other options for this winter. I have a set of snows from my last car. I think the size is 225/60 R16 and the tread should last a few more winters. I was thinking about shopping for some cheaper (steel?) wheels to mount these on but I don't know if 16 inch rims will fit on my car. I have a 2004 AT Sedan. Has anyone tried this? I live in CT so I know we will get a few snow storms.

300zx wheels probably fit

Thanks, are there any problems with the traction or stablity control with 16 inch wheels?

If you decide to get the 16" wheels, get a set of 225 / 60 / 16 or something, you'll need a high tire to compensate for the change in wheel diameter... otherwise you'll be slipping like crazzy

I don't think 16" rims will fit...17 is the smallest for the G35.

How do you people find these threads after 2 years? I don't think 16s fit. 17s with some winter tires should do, it won't be spectacular but then again you're driving a RWD sports car in the snow.
