Looking for some advise and insight.
Wanted a winter tire set so i bought a set of 17 inch stock CX5 rims to use on my CX5 that has stock 19 inch rims.
Went to tire shop to purchase snow tires and get them mounted and they would not mount the 17 inch rims on my CX5 because of smaller rim size. They said it would impact the AWD/speed control/anti skid devices etc.. Rather than deal with uncertainty i had them mount tires on the stock 19 inch rims.
Reading through some of the posts it appears that others have put smaller rims on the CX5 without any problems.
I am just looking to be a bit better educated and would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
