Winter Tire question
On my lancer De, i had 15 inch steel rims with winter tires, Will these 15 fit on my ralliart even thought the rims currently on there are 18 inch. I think they shoould fit because the winter tires are a lot thincker. But will the brakes touch or rub at some spots

as long as the overall diameter of the whole wheel (rim + tire) is the same you should be fine...also you gotta check the offset of your winter set....google up "offset calculator" to see the differences between the RA stockers and your winter set

I thought someone told me that in Canada the deathtrap Dunlop so 5000 m tires were used as all seasons can anyone confirm?
In regards to the question 16" is recommended for the gts so I assume that will do for the ralliart

I'd be leery of trying to fit 15s over 11" brakes. 16s would probably be a better choice.
