Default Swapping steelies?

Hello forums,

Wanted to know if the 16 inch allow wheels from factory can be installed and replace the steelies and hubcaps (keep in mind, I want to keep the same tires).

Ive called the dealership and they are absolutely lost (no real help)

Thank you all!

What diameter are the steelies and what size are the tires?

If you are wanting to take off the factory steel wheels, which are 16 inch, and put on factory 16 inch alloy wheels, then yes you can swap the tires right over. The tires will be slightly more stretched than they were on the steel wheels but not enough to matter, or even notice really. Both wheels would take a 205/55R16 wheel.

that is exactly what I want to do. Swap the steel wheels for the alloy wheels (same 16 inch diameter)
