I am thinking about putting either the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5's on my stock 16" alloys, then getting wheels when summer hits again. Or, the inexpensive way to go, mount the Nokian WR G2 on my stocks and run them year round. In Michigan we get extreme snow on more than a couple of occasions.

Offset is very important. Recommended for a Vibe is a high offset between 35-42. The wrong offset can cause rubbing problems when the suspension is compressed or the wheel is turned. You can get spacers or hub rings to solve the problem but it is best to meet the required specs

I would check out tiresbyweb.com they give enthusiast forum discounts to anyone from genvibe. I have had great luck with Nokian tyres
