Nice wheels. Those should fit great on the Vibe and look really good, too.

Are they too wide for the stock suspensions?

They should fit just fine as long as the bolt pattern is right. They look sweet.

Go for it. They should hang out right close to flush at the outer edge of your wheel wells up front and a tiny bit father inside the outer edge in the rears. My son has a set of 17 inch, 5x100 35mm offset wheels with 225/50 rubber on them and they look near perfect on his 05 Vibe. Post some pictures when you mount them!!!!!!!!

Just an update. Both wheels on driver side are slightly scratched by the track during an automatic car wash.
