16" steelies fit fine on the SS/SC and the SS/NA?

I just bought some tires and I didnt double check that a 16" will fit on my 08 Sport.

Let us know how they turn out! I plan to buy some next year. Did you buy the wheels new too? Did you have to buy the tire pressure sensors? They are an extra $220 on tire rack.

Nice! I have the same wheels and tires, they are VERY confidence-inspiring in the snow.

And yes, on dry roads they ride really nice, better than the stock tires in my opinion. I guess that makes sense, because there is SO much more rubber on them.
