IIRC, your brakes are smaller than mine, and 16x8 stock UrS4 wheels fit over them, as well as 16x7.5

S6 Avys wheels.

Understandable, but 17x8 is a bit silly for winter.

You've never seen a Calgary winter!

And what size brakes do you have?

A 16x8 wheel will still require a 225 series tire. With the 7.5 I could probably go with a 205

but like I said, I got a great deal on the R38's with Nokians already mounted. To me it was a no-brainer.
