Smallest wheel that fits on 8-9 gen Si?

What is the smallest wheel that will fit over the brakes on an Si? For snow tires? Maybe even thinking stock wheels on snow tires and after market on summer tires.

16"s if you want to play it safe. Only certain 15"s will work, depending on the design of the wheel. You can read more into on it here: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/wheel...e-put-fg2.html

Using the stock wheels for winter tires is a wise decision.

"generally" a 16" is the smallest rim that will fit due to the size. this is because of the huge rotor/brake setup.

but remember, not all 16" are made equally.
