I don't believe they'll fit, at least in the front. I am 70% certain.

You used one lifeline.

if i get 205-55-16 will that be too wide for winter tires? and also is that a good size?

You can fit 16s, like the RSX-S (IIRC) wheels. The only thing is, not all wheels will fit, as you need caliper clearance.

As far as what width, I'm not sure. I'd think a 205 would be fine though. Then again, I live in temperate SoCal, I have no experience with snow other than the occasional bout when I go snowboarding!

They will fit fine... a lot of people are running 205/55/16 for winter tires.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 10-14-2007, 07:20 PM

anything from michiline is good.

you most def ca fit 16s, but it must clear the brakes. there are quite a few options on the TR website you can look at. remember that if you decide on something, to use the banners on this forum to get to the website, so the forum gets credit!

X-Ice are great winter tires just pricey...

Im running a 205/55R16 winter setup myself, but Im using Italian made winter tires
