Cheap/ghetto winter setup... 18x8x2 + 16x7x2 for the even-cheaper-skates

Who will be the first to do it?

I suppose only the front needs 18" wheels. I think you could fit 16" on the back...meaning you could make your winter setup a bit cheaper by going with mismatched wheels. Not a great idea, probably would handle like rubbish, but it's an explore-able option If you're trying to save $40 or have some 16/17's that you just don't want to part with...
Might be hard to find wheels from TireRack, but just pick them based on dimensions.
You won't be able to rotate back to front obviously...but front to back could happen.

I'm not 100% sure 16's will fit, I'm just thinking it's very possible.

Do any 16" or 17"s have 5x120 bolt pattern?

Terrible idea btw

Haha agreed!

I'm sure there is something. Someone will get adapters and put them on if not!

Spend some money on good wheels and let your CTR look awesome in winter too!

16s clear the rear brakes.

lolz that's dope. Should be a good drifter!

In actuality, it makes a perfect spare tire...you just might need to go through an extra step to move a good rear tire to the front flat tire, then put the 16" spare on the rear.

You need to do that anyway because of the LSD.
