any one running 200 series on a 6" tire?

[tsunami]

well i got my 16" wheels finally, and they look great on the car (stock p5 wheels) the prices for snow tires are a bit high and i found some brand new/used studded snows but they are 200/55-16 and i should use 195/55-16 think i could get them to squeze those on these rims at teh tire place?

lookin for a bit of help...

 

[Mr. Win]

yes its a 6.5inch rim you should be fine.

You sure about that size? I've never seen a tire size that didn't in in 5. (scratch)

Agreed. But 205 will work too.

how did you fit a 16" wheel on a 3s?

16" will fit, no problem. It's 15" that won't go over the brakes.

yeah its the right size... i am buying some 1 month old studded snows at a good price off of some guy that bought them for his daughters pontiac and he said he had the hardest time ordering them b/c he "needed" 200 series.... i don't get it either, but the price is right for 1 month old studded snows....

 

[tsunami]

so the dude i bought the tires from swore up and down that they were 200 series tires and all the bs about special ordering them and crap...so i pick them up and don't even think to look at the size like a moron... they are 205/55-16

stupid people suck....

think i should just sell them (they are in great shape and studded) or fit them on the stock p5 wheels i have wich are only 6" wide...

 

[goldwing2000]

lol... I hate to say I told you so...

It should still fit ok on your 6" wheel, though.

 

[tsunami]

i know i know... and i thought the same thing, but the dude kept sayin all this s*** so i believed him... people are retarded....

The highest snow amounts will be in the mountains, 8" to 12" expected. Much of the interior will see 4" to 8" with a layer of ice. 2" to 4" along the coast will a thicker layer of ice to contend with.

whoot whoot... ready for the storm now that i have my winter tires on... these things look like they should hande just about anything... and my commute starts on the coast and ends at the base of the mtn region... should be interesting!!!
