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.

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.
