OE wheels + tires question
I've done some searching and haven't found a thread that would answer this. I have the 15 inch (5.5 wide) steel wheels with the 175/60/15 tires on them and 20k miles. I would like to buy some new wheels (got my tax refund already!) but keep the stock tires since 15x5.5 inch wheels are kind of hard to come by compared to 15x6. My big question is will the stock tires fit on 15x6 wheels without a problem? If not, would anybody be willing to sell their 5-spoke stock wheels (with or without tires) for ~$250 with shipping? I've attached a picture below.

Try ebay. I just sold my oem set last week. Got almost twice that price though (without tires).

Ebay has a lot of 15x6 options that are cheap but I need to know if my 175 width tires will fit them. |

Your stock tyres should be 185/60/15... and yes they will safely fit any wheel between 4.5" and 7.0" wide.

Wonder if any of those are the *Made in the USA* 15" 10-spoke? That's what was installed on mine when I bought mine new at the dealership. I was expecting the 5-spoke S wheel or the 7-spoke *Made in China* wheel that's showcased in the parts department.

I'm thinking about getting 15x8 wheels and stretching the factory 185's on them. Anyone done that? If so, post a pic!

Check out Mini Cooper 15" wheels. I just picked up a set of 5-spoke 15 x 5.5 +45 brand new take-offs. I paid $230 including shipping for the 4.
