I need to know what rims can fit my 2010 1SS with brembo brakes, I would like to get rims (either steel or alluminum) to put winter tires on. what is the smallest size I could go and what tire size also, thanks in advance.

Check the winter tire thread first off. But I'll help anyway. If you have the rolled skates on your brembo's than you can only go down to 19". If you have 9" rims then you will need to get the blizzacks tires as pirrelli doesn't make a 19" scorpion. Now it you get 20" rims you need the pirrellis as blizzacks don't come in 20"

Actually yes Pirelli does make 19" Scorpion Ice and Snow:
Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow Size:245/50R19
That is what I put on my 2LT from the Tire Rack.

All season Stock on left: ........... Snows and Sport Edition rims on the right:

The tire and rim package was about $1500 from the Tire Rack. Note: These rims are no longer available.

I just check the Tire Rack and for SS they recommend Size:235/55R19. But they are currently sold Out :(
For 20" they recommend 245/45R20 the do have them in stock but thous and the cheapest rims will run about $2000, and you will get a harsher ride. (cold rubber does not give well).
