Will 15" wheel fit 2010 2.4L base vibe?

Post by northvibe »

My sister has a 2010 2.4L base fwd vibe. It has the front and rear disc brake package. For a winter wheel setup, will a 15" steelie fit? Tirerack only lists 16" as the smallest. But I know on my MS3, 15" steelie would fit but just barely over the front caliper, but they did not list it on their site to buy. I had to order it over the phone.

Thanks,
P

Don't think you can size down to a 15 inch on the 2.4. They have the 5x114.3 bolt pattern so 16 inch is the lowest you can go. I have the base 1.8L 5x100 bolt pattern and a 15 inch wheel fits but looks awful so I went with the same stock OEM steelies. The wheel gap looks with a smaller wheel looks terrible. Just go with a 16 inch set up.

I know on the 2009-2010 Vibe GT, 16" is the absolute smallest wheel that will fit. 16" steel wheels just barely clear the front calipers.
