Someone local is selling these.

Do you think the rims will look weird on the TIB? I'm sure I can take of the NISSAN centre cap. It'll be cheaper than getting new steelies.

Do you know if 205/60/15 is too large? I've calculated and it'll be 31 mm wider in diameter, so 15.5mm each way, is that still ok?

what is a good winter tire size if i go with 16" rims? seem like many brands dont carry 205/45/16.

ok it comes with these tires... Tires are 2X Sigma Supreme TR, 2 Defender Radial HRX+4
anyone know if these are even all seasons?

Rims will fit, same bolt pattern and I believe offset too.
But tires 205/60R15's are WAY TOO TALL!

Too tall.
BTW, 240's have HUGE wheel gap!

Yes they would definately but who cares, its only for winter. Id rather have ugly rims than nice rims all messed up from using them in winter
