16's on g37X?

Anyone know if a 16x7 wheel will fit on the g37x?

I have a set of winter rims/tires sitting in my self-store from my old car, and was wondering if they would fit.

I know the S has to have 18's... so i would assume the x will need 17's... but someone might actually know.

I know, but they are only on for 3 months and I really dont feel like dropping another $1k of wheels and tires for 3 months that i *might* need them..

I guess ill just have to test fit them after im done moving cause nobody actually knows.

The wider the tires, generally the worse the performance in snow. So 17s would be better than 18's. However, I had a set of 18" Nokians on my Subie and they were fantastic. I suppose 17s would have been better, but the Nokians were so good, it didn't matter.

From what I've seen around the site you wont be able to get 17's to fit over the brakes on the S. You need at least 18's... and evidently some 18's dont even fit.
