Hi,
I'm talking with my dealer about rims for winter tyres as a part of ordereing a 290.

They say that it's possible to fit 17" rims since the car they have in stock lack the Dynamics package.

Asked; What is the dynamics package?
- It's the DDC.

Here I felt lost.
Well, Isn't that standard?
Do you guys know what are the minimum size of rims to put on it?

Thanks in advance.

The 290s have dcc as standard, and I think it's only 18s you can go down to unless you have a motorsport themed 17 that have good clearance/design on the back of the wheel

my 184 FR has the larger brakes, and they normally have 18s, but I got them switched to "Performance" 17s for a more comfortable ride.
I bought a set of used "Dynamic" 17s for winter tyres and they also fit ok. Could well depend if your brakes are bigger than the FR. Can the dealer try a wheel when the car arrives?
