Help with winter tire rims

Post by bryonfriesen »

Have a lead to buy some used 195/65R15 Michelin Arctic Alpine tires with steel rims. They came off of a Subaru station wagon, how can I be sure that they will fit a 2006 Base vibe. The rims have holes for a 5 bolt pattern, is there anything else that I should be aware of?Thanks Bryon

5x100 bolt pattern +38 offset I'm pretty sure Subaru wheels will work. I don't think they are exactly the same offset but close enough to work. Most people use Corolla wheels.

bolt pattern is the sameoffset will make the wheels sit further out from the body... more mud and snow on the side of your car, but not much.tires fit perfecthave fun
