Winter Tires & Rims

So I'm out here in white-out-winter Saskatchewan.
So naturally i'm thinking about winter tires and rims (cause winter rubber for 18's = $$$).
Crazy thing though, my old Beretta happens to have 5x100mm aluminum rims with all-season winter treaded tires on them. (the cobalt is 5x100, right?)
Problem is this, they are a 14" rim. Think they will fit around the brakes?
I'm pretty sure the offset will work, and i know there's no way they're too big.

wow, this is typical of most car-related forums i get into 'so a search'.
I did do a search.

My question is NOT regarding the winter tire...
My post was asking (if you read) -> WILL A 14" RIM FIT OVER THE BRAKES?

Sorry is i sound like an ass, bad day at work.

all of that info is out there. but I will make it easy on you. I wont make you search for it. It up to you. delete this. I will answer all your questions and feed you links to find more. I even no where to go for rims and super good tires for cheap. I am not working right now. I am having a great day at home. trust me tis is all old news. But unlike other forums I am not saying to you just do a search I will give you all that you want to know and show you support. It is hard cause you want to find info but there is 40 threads of the same topic. it sucks. we all want this forum to be organized so you can find the info you want easier.

hope you understand.

LOL Yeah the guy mentions he used to have a Beretta; the Beretta forums are notorious for having lousy search programs (I've looked for specific old threads I've started there but couldn't find them). In my opinion its just as helpful to say "Do a search!" as it is to give no answer at all.

5x110 bolt pattern and the smallest rims that fit are 16"s. So, no your Beretta wheels will not fit whatsoever. Don't worry about the search ****'s...They waste just as much bandwidth telling you that than giving you an answer.
