Need help - Rim and Tire Question

Post by XC23 »

Hello all,First Post - woot wootJust purchased a 2003 Vibe (1.8L) and loving it so far. But time to get some snow tires and rims. I have been searching high and low and think I have the correct information. Here is what I think is correct:Bolt Pattern 5 x 100Offset: 40Hub Diameter: 54.1 mmSnow tires that fit: 205/55/R16 OR 195/65/R15IS the above information correct? Also, I am finding quite a few used steel wheels with a 57.1mm hub will this work or will the wheel only be attached/resting on the bolts versus the hubs and bolts?Cheers

I believe the stock offset is +38Go with a taller skinnier tire if you can. It will get you thru the snow better.

SO is the hub diameter 54.1 or 57.1? I found this website, and it lists the Vibe at 57.1 and the MAtrix at 54.1 - I would have assumed they would be the same, thoughts?http://www.roadkillcustoms.com...M=100
