Thanks, I'm in Nova Scotia!

Having looked at this further, my car manual says that 17" wheels are actually recommended for winter tires/wheels: 8J X 17 AH2 (wheel size) and tires: 235/45R 17 94H(?) M & S

This would definitely make the winter tires cheaper (about $150 each for 17", but much, much more for 18" wheels).

I better see which 17" wheels will/will not fit this car.

Your sets of wheels are 18" or 17"?
