I'm in NY, haven't seen snow yet. Also, we don't use salt around here, perhaps they don't by the OP either. Either way, salt on rims would be the least of my worries, in that case. I'd worry more...

You'll be fine. 8 inches is the widest accepted width for the stock tire. You could actually even go further but that'll stretch it and won't be within the recommended acceptable range for safety...

That's the recommend rim width range for a 245 width tire. In other words, it's the safe range without being "pinched" or "stretched".

I never said it would behave the same throughout the range,...

Since you're keeping your 17's for tracking, a 1 inch difference between front and back shouldn't throw off your balance (that you'll notice anyway) on the street. You'll probably notice more of a...

Rota gets a lot of criticism since they had some failures early on that were highly publicized. Truth is they sell a lot of wheels and they're affordable. Any wheel will crack under abusive...

Whtefrs has a post in the member classified wheel section that shows his 17x9 Rotas for sale with stock tires on them.

If you're into stretch, I guess its acceptable, but I personally wouldn't do...

You can get lightweight 18's, so no I don't agree that 17's are the definitive must-have size for performance. For saving money? Definitely 17's. For staying in a particular stock class? Yes.
