Ok I've done the tire calculator but I need more of an opinion...

I have a chance to buy 4 Blizzak snows already mounted on rims for $250:
16" rims with tires (205/65 R16)

I currently have 15" 4th Gen steelies with 205/65 R15 tires

...The tires calculator said my speedo would be only 3.2% too fast. Do think having the larger wheels/ tires would adversly effect my car for the winter? Any thoughts? Thanks!!!

 

Absolutely not -go for it, for three reasons: one, the ride height increase might actually come in handy on very snowy roads, two is that what you dont want to do for winter tires is increase the width, because then the tires just 'float' across the snow instead of digging down thru it....you're not doing that...three because that's a good price!

Go for it, u should be fine.

 

Great!!!!...by the way what is the lug spacing on stock 15" steelies...I want to make sure these new wheels (off of an '01 Altima) will fit

 

sorry...'02 altima

 

'02 Altima five-bolt pattern same as Maxima....I think it's 114.5mm x 5

 

Close. 5 bolt by 114.3 mm (4.5 in)

 

01 Alti??? IIRC that's the second gen Alti, so it's a 4 bolt rim.

NEVER MIND, I just saw the second post stating 02 Alti.

 

Ahh, what's a measly .2mm anyway?? Hey, I said 'I think', did'nt I?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Any little fraction helps...
