I found a cheap set of rims for winter but they are 15's, I have some 15 tires I can put on the rims. Will they fit though?http://milwaukee.craigslist.or....html

Only repeating what I've heard - no.Is yours a 1.8L or a 2.4L? May make a difference but I think the calipers won't clear.

Also, if it is the 1.8L the bolt pattern won't work.I think they won't work either way - if you have a 1.8L then the bolt pattern doesn't work and if you have a 2.4L then the calipers definitely won't clear.

The 16s are the smallest that will fit a GT due to the calipers, but I'm not sure about your 2.4L Base. I would be safe and not go smaller than 16s.
