Default switching from 18" to 16" for the winter

Hi Guys,

I just got a set of 18" wheels for the summer and I am thinking of using my stock 16"s for my winter, do you guys know if it's bad for the suspension if I keep switching wheel sizes between seasons?

I got eibach prokit springs and haven't install a camber kit yet

Thanks

Will they clear the brakes? But I guess they will if they are the stock 16's that came with the car. I didn't know 16's were even available for 2nd generation ISx50.

I agree, I'm pretty sure the lowest size offered for the ISX50 is 17" on the AWD. He must have meant a set of 16's he had laying around.
