17's to 16's

The earlier ones (I think before about 2000) won't fit the later. The trouble is, I believe that is not quite true, they will go on, but you are putting too much load on the wheel studs, so they will start breaking a year later!

Thinking of changing from 17 inch alloys to 16 inch 5 spoke alloys (The common ones).
A 16 inch from a car of the same year, 2003, fits ok but I wonder if there has been any change in wheel dimensions for different model years. In particular I wonder about changes to the disc brake unit.
Any advice appreciated, thanks.

Any wheel from a post 2000 MY will be ok on your vehice. 16" wheels are sooooooo much cheaper than 17's.
