Hi

I want to get some 16" steel wheels and winter tires for my tc. Scion dealer wants $130 per steel wheel (spec pkg. wheels). I'm not paying that so I was looking at discounttiredirect.com ($50-65).

I decided I'd go with tire size 205/55/16 and needed some help with the wheels. I know the diameter is 16" and I think the bolt pattern needed is 5x100mm. However, what wheel width do I need?

Here are the 16" 5-100mm

Also, will it harm the suspension or tire pressure monitoring system riding on these for ~3 months?

Thanks a lot[/url]

 

+ tires and shipping..

i think the spec wheels will have tires on them. because they are from customers who didn'
t want the wheels and left them at the dealership.

 

maybe they will, either way I'd have to buy the winter tires. Winter tires for the 17" are gonna be as much as 16" steel wheels + tires.

 

15" wheel/tire pkg from tirerack is 560 shipped. blizzaks did awesome for me last week. best money I've spent on tires yet.

 

Do they still have that package at tirerack? If so, what size did you get. I didn't see any when I looked.

that sucks, check you local VIP or other auto parts store first, before you pay $65 PLUS shipping. hell, even sears might be able to get them for that price for you.

 

The bolt pattern and offset for the scion rims is similar to Subaru.

I have 16" subaru steels on my TC. The center bore is a bit larger than the scion, but they work.

Check on tirerack under Subaru. But be sure to talk to a technician at tirerack to make sure the offset will work. 15" steels for a Subaru wouldn't clear my tC brakes, but the 16"s (for a 2003-2003 WRX) did fit.
