Tire help Please

[dpa34]

Hi Guys

Well I have a 2003 p5 that come with 16" alloy wheels, this is my first real car I guess you can say and some help would be nice.

Does anyone know the spec's of the factory rim ? I ask as I got my self some Michelin artic alpin tires for next winter, and got
195-55r15 as they dont make the 195-50-16 that the factory tires are, is that going to work on the factory rims with out any problems ?

thanks

Factory rims are 16X6.5 +50 offset and weight just over 16 pounds.

just pick up 15 inch steel rims for next winter and you will be fine. The size you bought is perfect for that.
Oh, and welcome aboard.
