I was looking at what is available wheelwise for 06/07 Civic Si for the snowshoeing purposes and the smallest wheels I could find are 17x7. Why are there no 17x3.5 or 17x4 wheels? Noone wants very narrow winter tires on a two wheel drive car??? Is that because wheel makers assume that most customers are morons and go for wider-is-better regardless of whether it snows or not? Or the customers who want narrow wheel/tire winter package don't buy civics? I haven't checked for other compacts but I doubt it's any better for impreza, etc.
