(Not that kind of lucky!)Thanks to some little girl playing with her cell phone, i'm the proud new owner of an 09 vibe GT!(she crashed into the back of my VW Golf doing about 50mph - pushing me under the back end of a full sized Chevy pickup)My brand new summer wheels/tires went to the salvage yard with the car (didn't have the stocks anymore). I do have a set of 5x100 Ace's with 225/40/18 Goodyear snow tires on them. Please please please tell me that I can swing these on my Vibe! Is the size difference going to kill it for me?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your not gettin' lucky today, Jenna... '03-'08 Vibes are 5x100'09+ Vibes are 5x114Sorry they will not fit on your Vibe. The size you listed will fit on the '03-'08 Vibes so you could choose to sell them and use the money to buy the ones you want or some other mod. ~Brian

ACK!Dang them for changin' it up on us!At over $800 for those tires, It'll probably be cheaper to buy new rims for those tires, than to buy new snows for the stocks. ...back to the drawing board. EDIT - Just realized that I'm pretty much screwed either way.

I just talked to my tire guy and it will certainly be cheaper to buy new wheels for the snows. YAY!Does anyone know the offset on the stock 18's.
