Can I use VW195/65/R15 winter tires with steel rim on my '09 Vibe? They both have 5x100 bolt patterns but I don't know if there is anything else I need to know.

On GM website, the base model for a '09 Vibe is $15995. Is the $500 rebate already applied? I am thinking about getting the '09 Vibe with 1SB option. Can I get it at this price: $18995 - $500 + freight + tax?Thanks.Jack
