Alloy wheel size for winter tyres on a 2017 EX

[JazzyJ]

Looking at getting a set of alloys with winter tyres for my 2017 EX. Current tyres are 185/55/r16 but was thinking if it's possible to get a different wheel/tyre size combination that may be cheaper but still fit the car without any issues? Any advise greatly appreciated!

I have a 2017 Ex to and use in Winter 175 65 on 15 inch alloy Wheels. Fits perfect on the car, same Wheel size as standard jazz models

Steel wheels will last longer in winter use,  if you intend to keep the car get steel rims in 175/65R15 as advised.  never had to have steel rims refurbished due to corrosion - but on alloys the corrosion creeps under the paint and bubbles, corrosion also went under the tyre bead on a couple and caused slow air loss ( about 5 PSI per week ) - costs at least £50 per rim to get alloys refurbished,  if they are diamond cut you can double that.  A plus with steel wheels is that they protect the brakes better from winter salt and corrosion.

Great, thanks for the replies, much appreciated! I've seen a good deal on TyreLeader for rims+tyres but it will only allow me to select sizes by putting in my vehicle details. As such it gives me the following that doesn't include 175/65r15 -'185/60R15 6 J X 15 4x100'. In your opinion does this sound correct and would they be interchangeable with my wife 2006 Jazz Sport?

Why not try putting in the vehicle details of a base model from the same model year. One without the low profile tyres. I got a complete set of four steel rims and tyres for my 2005 Jazz and the more standard tyre size keeps the price down and the availability up.

According to the Honda website both the S and SE versions of the Jazz now come with 185/60 R15 tyres as standard. Not sure when this changed from 175/65 R15. The info on the Tyreleaders website would therefore seem to be correct.

The Mk 3 SE had 185/60 R15 from the outset.  175/65 R15 was used on the Mk2.
