Steel Wheels for Snow Tires?

This thread is a duplicate on the new E forum.

Can I get steel wheels for my E500? I have the sport model with 17" wheels. I would prefer putting 16" wheels with snows for a higher profile. Will 16" wheels fit? Are the brakes the same size as the on the non-sport models?

Luke,

are the brakes rotors (or calipers) larger and need 17" wheels for clearance? Are steel wheels available to mount snows?

there are no steel wheels that will fit over the radial measurement of the braqkes and clear the caliper extension
