The rims will fit then. I want to get rid of these cause they are taking up space so $100 for rims and the tires. The tires will probably be ok for this winter, but I would replace them in January or so when the snow gets worse.

As far as snow tires go, there are cheapy ones and there are the Blizzack type. The ones I'm getting are going to run me like a $125 each cause they are performance H rated snow tires. A regular set of good tires will cost around $80-90 each. You could go with the pep boys ones for cheap, but I rather have a good tire.

I suggest you check out tirerack.com and look for snow tires in your size. They have reviews and comparisons. The prices they have are very low comapared to street prices. Generally I add about $30 a tire to have an idea on what it costs locally.

The way I justify snow tires, is that your going to have to replace the stock tires eventually. The snow tires will make the stocks last longer and you'll have confidence driving in the snow.

02RSXTYPES- Up here in NH it generally snows bad enough where it warrants snow tires if you drive to work everyday. The stocks are ok though if you don't drive far in storms or don't get a lot of snow. The other reason for the tires is ice, the tires that I'm buying and what I would reccomend is to get the Blizzak type tires that give ice traction.
