[neo21]

just called discount tire. the steelies they still have left but as for pretty much every winter tire there out of. they luckly still had the goodyear ultra ice's left for 70 a tire. so if theres anyone still out there that needs tires, you best order asap.

Well,
I finally mounted my winter wheels/tires. Here's the info:

96 and up Plymouth Voyager/Dodge Caravan, 15x6, 35mm backspacing with 5x100 bolt pattern. It is the 'snowflake' or 'swirl' pattern, machined on outside with gold paint on the insert and the plastic?or Aluminum? cover that covers the lugnut area. This is an aluminum wheel and will require a hubcentric ring. Ring diameter is the common 73mm. Mine is plastic.
Running 195/65R15 Blizzack WS50.
No clearance issues. Great traction.

Enjoy!
CC.

EDIT-
Wow was I misinformed! These wheels are off of a Mid to Late 80's Dodge Turbo Caravan. I had no idea how rare they were!

I have Winterforce tires (~ $50.00 / tire). They are made by Kelly tire...amazing amount of sipeing (sp.). I drive Rt. 260 past Sunrise Ski Resort everyday. These tires are inexpensive and very sticky. Highly recommend.

am i the only person that bought winter tires for the stock wheels? most people seem to have aftermarket wheels so why not just put winter tires on the stock wheels so your car doesn't look terrible. 4 michelin pilot alpin pa2's can be had for less than 4 steel wheels and 4 cheap tires. thats just my .02 though.

[SRT4@40]

Will PT Factory aluminum Rims fit the SRT-4 they are 16" x 6" / 40mm offset. Lug pattern is 5 lug 100mm. Same overall dimentions as the SRT-4 Right?

[CJM/SRT]

I would like to know if 16 inch pt cruiser wheels fit. I heard they do but with a spacer

[SRT4magoo]

I have the Unique steel wheels from discounttiredirect.com with 205/65/15's on them. They seem REALLY close to the caliper. If I take a turn kind of hard or jerk the wheel one way hard I am hearing a rubbing sound. I haven't had time to take off the wheel to check it out yet. Think the load could cause the rim to be rubbing the caliper? The lug nuts are tight too.

[minilowz]

Thats probably the tire rubbing the strut tower, I've had that problem on my Lebaron rims w/spacers, and a 205/65/15 snow tire

[OVR-C-SRT]

The Pt Cruiser snow tire package (steel wheels) works with ours, w/out the spacer.... Ask for size 185/65/R15, bought mine from Daimler/Chrysler, and they installed it too... =) Works great on the autobahn, even in the Bavarian area.

i put blizzak ws50's on my stock rims and they are the best anow tires i have ever used
