Currently have 205/55-16 F and 225/50-16 R Blizzak LM-22s in the garage for winter setup on my MY02. Excellent in the snow and have very little wear.

Lease is up soon and am looking at a MY05 right now.

Will my current Blizzak size be OK on MY05?
Is overall size different ?

If so...I wil be buying cheap alloys from TireRack for this setup. Any 16inch recommendations for these Blizzaks? Jim?

thanks

 

Are they currently mounted on rims? You'll need the rims as the '05 are 17" rims/tires. If you have them on rims and you plan to keep the rims, they'll work fine.

 

Just go with the stock sizing and you should be ok. I don't think the overall sizing has changed at all. Another thought is, you can buy AP1 rims for pretty cheap now, so that might be another option, instead of buying new AM rims.

 

Thanks guys...

I've been swapping tires on and off of 1 set of OEM rims each season. Looking to get away from that and buy a set of winter cheapies from tirerack to mount my existing Blizzaks on. This may be a dumb question but is hole pattern and offset same from MY02 to MY05? If so, I may be able to get some used AP1 rims and mount em to my Blizzaks. Then I'm good for another 3yr lease .

 

All wheels from all year S2000's are completely interchangeable. 16" wheels can be had cheap if you hunt around, particularly if you don;t mind a few curb scrapes. I don't live in the snow belt, but I hear the thinner the better with tires.

 

I do have some 16" wheels that will work for you. They start at 109.00 per wheel. If I can help let me know.
