16" OEM Hubcaps fit 15" Steelie Wheels

Post by Ol' Timer »

When I switched over to Snow Tires, mounted on 15" steelie wheels, I used the crappy covers that came with the 15" wheels thinking "why doesn't Pontiac make a wheel cover that mount just like the 16" covers do?"Well, this year by shear stupidity, I wasn't thinking when I removed the 16" RSA's to mount the 15" Michelin X-Ice tires and then buttoned them up with the 16" OEM Hub Caps. For whatever reason, they fit beautifully on the rims. The only exception was the tire valve does not line up with the indentation on the OEM Hub Cap. But I can access the valve to check the tire pressure without a problem. Who knew?
