Quick Question

ok,

Just want to double check before I buy these rims and tires from TireRack.

I have picked out 16X6.5 New Steel Wheel Black Painted that go for about $49...I want to make sure that these will fit my 05 SS/SC.

I have picked out 215/55HR16 Dunlop Winter Sport M3 for tires. Will this work?

Brent

FYI..this is for the Winter

205/60-16 tires are a better fitment, almost identical overall size to the 215/45-18s so that your speedometer reading is almost dead on, plus narrower (205 vs 215) is better for driving through snow. Other than that the tires are AMAZING.

As for the wheels....if TireRack says they'll fit then they should fit.

Is that big of a difference from 205 to 215?
