I have a 2005 AWD Vibe, with the stock steel wheels, hubcaps. What is the OEM tire size of the 17" wheel package?

215/50/17I don't believe the AWD is rated for 17's though.

As long as you keep the same overall diameter you will be fine with 16's, 17's or 18's. I have 18's on my AWD and I love them. The stock 16's will go back on for winter though.

If your on stock P205/55R16 rims and want to switch to a 17" rim, do not go with the stock 17" Vibe tire size as its to big. To best keep tire size diametre correct, you'll want to run P225/45R17 to match nearly perfect with the P205/55R16.If you put on to big or to small a tire, you risk throwing off your odometre, speedometre, fuel consumption, abs brake systems, and over all vehicle handling.

Thanks for the input guys!Much appreciated.This maybe off topic....but does anyone know the offset of the Vibe AWD?

5-100... the awd should be the same as the base. offset... man I'm scratching my head on this one. I did all the research myself for my Vibe, got the work done and forgot it... 38-42 offset allowed? damn wish I could remember, this is bad.

mine came with moons and tunes and 17's
