Looking for some Steelies.

[zbyers]

I have an '07 2WD Vibe with stock 16 inch rims. I'm looking for some steelies to put snow tires on. Any idea what the specific bolt pattern and everything is so I can find some? Any suggestions on some good snow tires, as well? If this info has been posted previously, I couldn't find the post.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Zybers:
The information you are looking for is here:

and here:

you can use 16" wheels from Vibe/Matrix/Corolla/Prius
you can use 15" wheels from Cavalier/ Sunfire (96 and later)
Some model years of Plymouth Breeze and sister models fit as well.

I just bought a set of 15" MSW Alloy wheels with General Altimax Arctic tires for $250. They were used for 1 winter on a Prius and sit in my garage waiting for snow.
Chiadog found a set of steelies as well:viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43368

If you have the original alloy wheels and now change to steelies you also need the proper lug nuts. the Alloys have a flat mating surface whereas the steelies have conical mating surfaces.

The Tire Rack is a good source for information on various tires. I would think that the Blizzaks rank highest for winter driving.

happy hunting!
There are some rims in Pittsburgh:
