My son has 2012 Kia Forte koup. With 205 55 16. He found a set of 2018 Kia Forte rims and tires. 205 45 17. Would the 17's fit on the car with no mods done to it?

      Just had my first service and asked Kia guy about using 16in snow tires - he said it can't be done as the brakes are larger and they won't fit......does this makes sense. I know Canadian Tires have two rims listed, one Custom and the other Universal....but the guy at Kia seemed very sure of what he was saying..... anyone heared of this ???

        Hi,Ken Allen,For the brakes,If the brake is large,You can use bigger offset 16'' wheels or put some spacers in the wheels.I do not think the brakes can determin whether 16''/17'' rims fit for the car.
