I have 3 vehicles with alloys and none get run in the winter. I have steels and winter treads for all of them.

My 2 cents

After thinking it over, I agree totally.. I picked up some 17's off ebay for 150.00, lucky I was the only bidder with no reserve, lol! I am going to torder 295 70 17's next week for the wheels.

Most of the 09-2010's come with 17" wheels so its odd your having and issue. Pin point the source, take the wheel off and grind very slightly the caliper so you dont have any issues. You have any pictures?
