Hello all and Thanks in advance for your time.

I have 16" rims on my new Civic and wondering if 15" steel Rims with the same bolt pattern can be used on the car? Want to put snow tires on them.
Not sure if there is enough clearance around the brake calibers.

Happy Holidays!

Dan U.

Welcome.

The brake calipers could be an issue but you can usually go down a size and be ok.

Shop for a winter set of wheels and tires at TireRack and see if any red flags show up with that size wheel. Usually if there are clearance issues they will tell you.

Thank much, will do!
From an outside view it appears I have about .5" clearance between edge of Caliber and inside of 16" rim.
