I was on Craig's list and a guy in my city is selling some Hankook W404 snow tires 195/65/15(I don't know the speed rating)

Willl it fit on our stock rims? Will the tire rub? Right now I got 50 series.. 65 maybe a little too big.

yah they work fine, and they make kickass winter tires.

I had purchased them on accident and figured since the winter was coming up (last year) i might as well keep them'

I'm up at 6:00 am everyday. I'm a night owl. I just came back from Wal-mart because there's this hot girl I want to talk to while I shop for my wireless router for my computer.

Another observation.. both of you guys have RD2s. Now I need a reply from a RD1 owner.. I dont' know , it could be different.

I had 205/65/15 on my RD1 after I first got it. I took them off of my Altima (pic's) they rubbed only a lil after a hard bump or if I had more than my kid in the back

not sure I would run 65s.. my rd1 came stock with the 14 inch steel wheels.. 195/60/14. Already I am an inch lower in diameter at the rim and my car is only running 60s.. you could be looking at an overall diameter increase of close to two inches with the 205/65/15 set up. That will slow your car way down in acceleration and make your speedo run very slow

They will work fine.

RD1 and RD2 has the same suspensions and same wheels. So if they fit RD2, they will fit RD1.
