Default Has anyone tried 16" rims?

Hey all, Ive got a set of winters on some 16" rims from an Oldsmobile I use to own. The bolt pattern and tire diameters line up, but im not sure if the rims will clear the brakes.

Has any one tried fitting 16's yet?

Spare is a 16" so yes. The offset, center bore and rolling diameter are other factors you need to check.

I just bought a set of 215/60R-16 Blizzak WS-70s, I need to buy steelies 16x6.5" steelies for them, anyone know the offset I need? And 16" rims should work fine, I think it might even clear those with the BBK because the spare is a 16"

I bought my steelies from a guy that had an 08 camry with a 45 offset and they fit perfectly. I highly doubt bbks will clear 16s since the stock brakes just barely clear 16s. You would need 17s at least to clear bbks.

It might not clear the frpoont brakes though, even though teh overall diameter is the same-ish... see if they guy will let you see if they mount?
