So are 17" rims a definite no no?

The guy at my local tire place is trying to steer me toward 17's for my winter shoes. He says the price for tires and rims is cheaper than 20" winter tires.

Anyone got any experiance in this area?

Ya, run 17s or 18s for snow. Whatever will clear the brakes.

Yes, TireRack shows 17s will work on V6 Camaros with the smaller brakes. Not sure about V8 Camaros with the Brembo brakes. You will just want to make sure the tires are same diameter as stock so speed and mileage are correct.
