Wheels for winter tires

I was looking at some 16" x 6.5" wheels for winter tires. Is there any other consideration for them fitting on the Vibe? I didn't see an offset listed. The wheels were on TireRack.com. Thanks!

It's all about actual sales numbers. That's why Oldsmobile went away. Poor sales. Same thing with Plymouth. In fact, I think Mercury's sales numbers have been even worse than Oldsmobile's ever were.If they can sell more Buicks than Pontiacs, then Buick will stay and Pontiac will become a "niche...

And was later the Chevrolet Prizm. If Saturn goes away, Pontiac would have three unique vehicles: G8, Vibe and Solstice. That makes it worth keeping at least as a "niche" brand.
