16" snows on steel wheels on my 07' si??

So i have my old snow tires from my last car, an 03' rsx. I'm wondering if anyone has an experience or insight in whether or not i can fit that set of snow tires mounted on 16" steel wheels onto my 07' civic Si (17" wheels)
The outside circumference is very very close, i checked on that, and im 99% sure that the bolt pattern matches up, but what I see as a problem is the brake calipers....
Anyone???
Thanks!!!

Let me get this right....youre asking if 16" tires will fit on 17" wheels?

ok..gotcha...i was a little confused.


Yes, they will work. The RSX and the 07 Si are the same bolt pattern...they will work.

Having the same bolt pattern doesn't mean it'll fit. His main concern is whether it'll clear the brake calipers. Offset could also be an issue.

I know that, but being that the Type S and 07 Si have the same size brakes, its not an issue.

2007 Si:
Brakes
Front Brake Size 11.801 in | 299.7 mm.
Rear Brake Size 10.201 in | 259.1 mm.

source:http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z11026/default.aspx

RSX Type S:
Brake Size
F 300 mm / 11.8 in
R 260 mm / 10.2 in

true, the only way to know for sure is to test fit them. But most likely they will fit.
