Sure they will fit but, you'll have to use a rubber band as a tire!!!!

currently the smallest tire on the market in 20" is a 245/35/20 too big!! - But I have head rumors that there will be smaller sizes out soon... you COULD fit them with some modification to the fender wells.... -BUT the Major issue is that there really is not any 20" wheels with a 5X100 bolt pattern!!! only a select few... it would take some work!!!

Andrewmva,I see the pics of your matrix and it looks good with those wheels. Might I ask the brand, size, and price. Also if they are 18" -- have you noticed any degradation in ride quality compare to the original 17" or 16" wheels.ThanksEd

they are 19" Axis Hagan w 225/35/19 Yokohama Parada spec II you can use 235/35/19 -my car is lowered alot.... the ride sucks... -but I only live about 2 miles from work... you get used to the ride being poor and adjust.... the look makes up for it... my car turns heads EVERYWHERE.. there are not too many in that color in the area and NONE that low w/ 19" wheels.

Hey Andrewmva,I'm thinking about upgrading my stock tire. I think to go with 225/45/17. Should I take a less wide tire like 215 or 205?

As far as sizes go, there is excellent data on The Tire Rack's site:
http://www.tirerack.com It takes a little chasing around to find eveything, but when you click "specs" for a tire, you get a list of available sizes. They list all dimensions, including revs per mile, so you can match diameters to keep the speedo in calibration, and width, so you can decide what "might" fit without too much hassle. Also, required rim widths, so you don't buy a 265/30 to pop on your 7" rim. (Speaking of which, when I checked they had 56 wheels for Vibe!)

I'll deal with the stock 16"s until something different comes along.
