Talking Im trying to make snow wheels.

I coulndt find any steel wheels so i was looking into buying 16iinch mustang wheels found usually on V6's. i have 17 inch rims, questions is, Is their any problems going to a smaller rim for winter use, such is fitting them becuase of the brakes and stuff? plus 16 rims can get winter tires cheaper $$$ any help is appreciated.

Do you have the stock brakes? If so you can put a 15" wheel on that.

Because the GT has the same Brakes as the V6 and the base v6 came 15" for a while
