vin Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hello Ford people, I'm looking for winter type rims to swap out for winter time only. I have 2008 Ford Fusion SEL; 255/50 17" R tires and rims. These tires suck in the snow due to they are to wide and the Continental (sp?) tire is unstable feeling as if I'm floating all over the road. I'm looking to see if I am able to put on a Narrower Rim but keep the 17". Is this doable without messing up the car? What do I look for when I search for a narrower rim size? Thank you for your input and knowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You can absolutely go with a wheel with less width, like a 17" x 7" wheel. You need to check the offset, a 35 mm offset would be good, or a little less would work too. Normal stock size tires, on OEM Fusion wheels, are 225/50/17, so maybe simply change the tires if your car still has the stock wheels. Maybe the previous owner put on those bigger, wider tires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
