Keith and SublimeThanx for all your good info - it will help me once I find a set of rims to make sure I don't waste my money. Does the thought of dropping dpwn a size for snows hold true for all vehicles? My wife drives a a 4WD Jeep Liberty. Should I drop down a size for rims and snows for her? I t...

thanx, but how do you measure offset - I beleive it is from the middle of the tire to where the rim attaches to the axle?(would it be written on the rim somewhere or does it all depend on the width of the tire?)Thanx

Have found the following add in craig'slist and am considerring purchasing these rims and tires. Would I need hub adaptors as well?(Also found some from a bmw 3 seriesbut everything I have found leads me to believe that the bolt pattern is incorect for a 2003 vibe awd.)Thanx for your help195/60r15 W...

many peoplesay that corolla rims will work but the pic I have seen of corolla rims had 4 lugs not 5. I'm looking on craig's list and see a bunch of 15 inch rims but although they have 5 lugs can't tell if they will fit or not. any help would be appreciatedthanx

would you still go with 15 inch snows vs 16's?

actually I did run a carfax - 1 owner, Virginia ( maybe they were vacationing in New Orleans on Aug 29th ?) Anyways, switch replaced, no problems

thedealership ran a diagnostic and came back that it was the light switch - when the replaced it they said there was moisture in it. Haven't had a problem since it was replaced. Not sure if you tried joatmon's suggestion but that worked - and you don't have to keep unplugging your cables

thanx guys, i'll probably get all seasons - cheaper. although i would love to buy another set of nice rims and summer tires - not to mention some of the mods i've seen - it all comes down to i just can't see myself spending money on something that is not necessary - what can i say, i am a cheap sob

thanx for the info - living in boston so who knows what we're going to get but will take your advice and get some - knowing me i'll wait till the first snow - i usually get my tires at pep boys - have always had a decent experience - though will read the threads to get the consensus as to which snow...

nice, where'd you get them from?

stupid question. i have a 2003 awd - do I need winter tires? I had a cherokke and ran it on basically bald tires and a few times needed to put it in 4wd to get up some hills. my tires on the vibe are getting worn and will need new ones soon. thanx

joatmonit worked!!!!!!!dropped it off at the dealership today so that they can diagnose the problem but asked them to give me a call prior to doing any work - if it is exhorbitant (extortianate?) I may bag it and do this quick fix untill I can order whatever part is required and see about getting a ...

thanx for your help, which check it out!
