GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I was looking at some 16" x 6.5" wheels for winter tires. Is there any other consideration for them fitting on the Vibe? I didn't see an offset listed. The wheels were on TireRack.com. Thanks!

The stock offset for the 16x6.5" wheels are +39mm. The stock offset on the 17x7" wheels is +45mm. The brakes on these cars are relatively small compared to the diameter of 16" wheels, so there should be no fitment issues.

The only other thing to consider is center hub size is 54.1mm and our cars are hub centric. If you purchase wheels with a hub larger than this you will need a hub ring to match them up. Unless the wheels have conical lug holes, in which case you will need conical lug nuts to go with the rims.

15x6 like a corolla... 195-65-15

Cheaper setup

Since we don't know for which Vibe: make sure you have the correct bolt pattern.

Thanks for the replies.

Anyone know a good place to purchase 15" wheels?

Found some on TireRack. You just have to select the winter wheel/tire package.

@ NibCrom: What year is your Vibe?

2005.

Okay. If it was a 2nd gen, I was just going to remind you of the two different bolt patterns, but no need since it's a 1st gen.

Thanks for asking.
