Hello! Just ordered some Michelin X-Ice winter tires to take advantage of a sale, but with all the advice from everyone I've gone ahead and downsized from an 18" to a 16". My official tire size is 215/55/R16.

Now, I've heard some mixed things - I've heard the body on the LX and the Sport are basically the same and the downsize should be totally good to go, correct?

The one thing I'm confused about is whether or not the LX brakes are the same as the Sport brakes, as I'm planning to mount the tires on some 16x7 wheels with a 40mm offset. Would that fit okay?

The LX comes stock with 215/55R16 on 16x7 wheels so I'm sure they'd fit just fine.

I'm running 215/55R16 tires on 16x6.5 +45 stock 8th gen alloys with no issues.
