Is it possible to use the 8 all year?

 

I sure do!

As long as you get winter tires you should be fine. I got a set of 17 inch FRD 6 wheels on Toyo Garit HT winter tires. They've performed beautifully all winter.

 

i'm slapping 18 inch low pro winters next year...... you can pick them up at mazda along with a performace rim for cheap. My gf's father drove his in the winter...... no problems !

 

No problem.

Put a set of good winters on, (I bought the same set as 'Sharky', 17 inch Toyo Garits) found a block heater, and ran it all winter.

Bought in Leduc!

Stealth TL, did you find Leduc was cheaper than Edmonton? We're going test driving on Saturday.

 

is it possible to use same rims and buy winter tires?
do they even come in that size

 

Yes they come in the same sizes, but very expensive. You have to wait till they start producing them again. Also, people bought them in different sizes and it worked. I drove with my stock tires in snow in chicago. ITS DANGEROUS. after doing that, i leave my baby in the garage when it snows.
