I don't think there are any steel wheels available that will clear the brake calipers. Tire Rack has winter packages that bundle snow tires with inexpensive ($119 ea) alloy wheels.

My buddy works at Kal Tire, he says the tires that can be put on the is350 are going to be costly, if he puts them on his account its about 150$ cheaper, but its still going to cost me a lil less then a grand.

Got to bite the bullet and purchase aluminum wheels ...

Steel welded wheels will not clear the calipers, front or rear

If you hunt around you can find nice cheap 17" aluminium rims. I found these that will fit the rotors and sensors for 150$ each at a small independent shop.

Steel wheels in 17" or 18" would be too heavy.
