Overall diameter shouldn't exceed 26"....... Here's a link to a tire size calculator. Tire Size Calculator

You can compare your existing size to various 15" sizes and find a match to your overall diameter and the speedo will stay correct. :wink:

If the 15's fit....what is the tire size?

I have not found any hubcabs to fit the 15" steel wheels I got from TireRack; so dream carefully if that is the look you want. Tire size? I like the 205/65/15.

The 15" moons from Hub Cap Mike don't fit? It's a 15" hub cap....why wouldn't it fit?

What do the hubcaps grab onto? If it grabs onto the lugnuts it may fit. If the hubcaps grab onto the special raised portions of the wheel - it will not fit as the TireRack wheels have no raised portions for the hubcaps to snap on to.

How many hubcaps were ever produced to use the very strange 5-110 lug pattern these vehicles have? I would say very few if any - this is why I have not found any to fit.

They fit the 16's though and it's the same design.

I'll call Hub Cap Mike tomorrow and get the scoop on this :smile:

Here's the "Wheel size Comparer" I prefer, it also gives you info on what rim width is acceptable for any given tire, visa, versa & etc.. Scrool down after & see all the extra info about your selections.

I do not want to dissuade you from the decision.
But the guys from the snowy States and Canada will probably confirm. When driving on loose snow height clearance is very important. If a lot of snow in Denver - a careful calculation. $ 150 - good economy, but to be planted on the belly of a snowdrift - a dubious pleasure.
I have 16 inch wheels. My tires 5 % above the norm. Nevertheless, I have a shovel in my HHR and use it at least 2 times over the winter.

tried calling Hub Cap Mike today.....someone answers, but then you don't hear them anymore and they hang up. Tried both phone numbers and got the same thing. How do you sell hub caps if you can't talk to your customers on the phone?

Hey guys again appreciate all the responses I'll be leaving for Denver on the 12th so we will see what works out when I get out there. So far I've taken the advice of not doing a cross country trip on snow tires :)).

Geg spasibo! lol don't use that shovel too much. And this I would plan on trying to keep the same diameter approx. of tire so the 15 vs 16 shouldn't matter too much .. hopefully. Hell I already decided against lowering just because of the winter weather. And when I say lowering I was thinking pro-kit nothing crazy, but I'll wait and see how she handles this winter first.
