winter rims?

[magicpotion]

Hello all G6 owners,

I'm new here and am glad to be .

I purchased a 2006 G6 with 16 inch rims and would like to know if it's possible to install 15 inch rims. I have a brand new set of winter tires, 205/65/R15 with 15 inch rims, my stock tires are 215/60/R16.

This would save me much time and money trying to sell and then have to but new winter tires.

Thanks to all of you.

Same issue, I have 15 inch tires and would like to find a matching rim. Dealer is useless

One idea:

Buy a junked 15 " rim, hoist your car, check & measure. The go for it if all is ok.

Strut clearance should be ok, You can mount a tire if you want to be sure.

Steel studs are a boss idea if you buy new snow tires.

Dealers are 'special".
However, they make a living selling brand new stuff, N'est pas?

Your 15in tires are 52.9mm (2.08 inch) smaller in diameter than your 16in tires. No I didn't take my measuring tape out...

This is a great tool to compare tire sizes.
My G6 came with 17in tires, and I used this to find 16in tires to put on my 16in rims (for winter tires).
