Will these fit??

[Loopy Chipmunk]

Hi everyone, New member here, just received our new (used) 05 vibe today. My question is that it has 16" alloy's....a friend of mine has some winters with rims and can't use then on his new car. Would 15" rims with 215/65/R15 tires fit, i think the bolt pattern is 5x110mm? Is there any harm running a 15" rim?Cheers!

WELCOME TO GENVIBE The tires are quite a bit too large in diameter, 4.35% and 3% is the recommended limit. They may even rub on the fender liners. As for the wheels, if they are 5x100 they'll probably fit, depending what kind of car they were on. Most Vibers use 15" Toyota Corolla rims with 195/65/15

Was not questioning your dimensions or numbers.
