Scion tC winter rims

It is now November, and time to start thinking about the snow.

Here's my question.
I'm looking to get a set of steelies for my tC for winter. I called the dealership to see if they could tell me if I could use a corolla rim or some other rim on the new tC. They told me that there are no rims out there that I could use.(the parts manager told me that the rims might interfere with the braking system) Which would mean the I would have to get snow tires for the 17's that are on the car.

I still plan on testing out a different set of rims but I thought I would ask first to see if anyone has tried this yet.

b

i do'nt see why it wouldn't work, other than screwing around wtih the ABS sensor possibly (because of a different diameter)

just do it, iirc, they're 5x100, the same as a 03+corolla.

Thank you I will try it.
