GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I purchased my vibe on 6-7-2002 As I was driving it I noticed a lot of "oversteer" with the factory 16 inch wheels. So the next day I put 18 inch Enkei wheels with NITTO NT-555 Z rated tires. BOY, WHAT A DIFFERENCE ALL THE WAY AROUND!!!! I've totally eliminated the oversteer and ladies and gentleman This car handles like a dream. I'm talking driving though an "S" curve or curves at 40 mph at least without any tire squealing. As well as stiffer steering and better braking. You will only sacifice accleration at times especially on hot days like today, because the hotter it is outside the better the wheels stick to the road. Beside it gives the car a better stance. Can't wait to get my suspension and the supercharger to give the tires a challenge. [IMG][/IMG]

225/40ZR/18-the variance is about 5-7 mph Still have to get used to the Speedometer racing style step though

Do you have any pictures to show us?? I would be interested.

Sorry I don't have any pictures yet. I'll post some in a few weeks, however, if you are interested in buying some wheels trying this site will give you an idea how it will look: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/shock ... .dtd2.html Pick the PONTIAC VIBE and whatever wheels you think might look good.
