Question about winter tires for SS

I found a guy about a half hour away who is selling a pair of Blizzaks 215 55R16 Winter Tires. They include rims and wheel covers and are off of a 2008. I am not sure if they have the TPMs.

So my question as I am assuming they are 17" rims is will these have any problems w/ the SS? I am thinking it will be fine, but just want to make sure w/ the rear calipers ect. Thanks

Backs are small, It's the fronts that come into question.

Ya they are 16" rims and they have the TPMs. Gonna make him an offer and see if I can't get them. I will try them on the SS. I don't have brembos so should be good. Thanks guys for the quick responses

The 16's will be fine on the SS (without brembo's) I ran these 16" Enkei's with 225/55 R16 Blizzacks

You will LOVE them in the snow!

I got the tires and rims, glad to knowthey will fit. Me or my wife had no problems w/ the stock tires and rims in the snow, but can't wait to see how the snow tires work. Now I have set of hub caps that I will need to sell when I get around to it
