Brake compatability and wheel size questions

I'm considering changing over to 15" steel wheels and snow tires for winter use. I've read that the Toyota Corolla 15" wheels will work on our cars. Are the brakes (pads/shoes) on the Vibe the same as the Corolla? Same part number etc?Also, I'd just like to verifiy one last time that the 15" wheels of a 2003 Corolla (for example) will fit on my base Vibe.

but I have yet to find someone who has ACTUALLY done it. I want to know also.

Thanks for the info. TireRack was exactly the place I had been checking out, and that would have been a pretty big mistake if I had ordered the "Toyota" 15" wheels without verifiying this first.Keep posting if you get any additional info.thanks

Lug nuts should be a bit easier to find...I'd just take one off and go to your local parts store. Determine the thread pitch and diameter, and match it up to the style lug nut you need. They should only cost you about $1/each.
