Will they Fit ?

Has anyone fitted 205/55/15 tires into the stock 15inch steelies from the 2001 ? The steelies should have a size of 15 X 6 compared to sport rims which are 15 X 6.5 . Will the smaller width of the steelies be able to take 205/55/15 tires without any problems ?

What about the lug nuts ? Will they tighten the steelies fine without the hub caps ? Seems like there are some black washers to hold the hub caps in place.

Nah I see some people around here run steelies with the stock lugs...ugly to me but whatever. On another topic...cahging the tire size from factory spec will throw off the speeedometer depending how far you go. On one of the othre threads here some guys said you had to reset your ECU or something like that? Is that true?

no, reseting the ECU will not allow you to run different total size tires, the Speedometer and Odometer will still be off....
