Competition Edition Wheel sizes

Will 16" wheels fit the CE?

I bought my car in January 2008 and ended up with all-season tires for the remainder of the winter because there were no 17" tires available. I am buying winter wheels and tires this Friday so I get choice before all the tires go back east.

I would have to special order any 17" snow tires at about $250/tire OR I can try to find a 16" wheel that fits and then have my choice of hundreds of tires in about the $100 each range.

Since the wheels/tires won't go on the car until late October but will be bought now, if 16's somehow don't work in real life I'll be faced with no snows again this winter, not something I want to be without as winter road maintenance seems to have disappeared in Vancouver.

I think the only thing I have to worry about is the brake clearance but am unsure because of the other changes to the CE like suspension.

Suggestions? Advice?
