so i found at a junk yard... 4 16" stock rims with rubber for $100. i haven't picked them up yet, but might buy them.

so i have 15" current. What i was think is put the 16s on the back and leave the 15s up front. all my tires need replacing. so i would buy a little wider tire for the back (not for function mostly for looks... plus the back having more grip could help on icy conditions).

anyone do this? or should i leave the 15" as winter and put the 16" as summers. I eventually want to get 17" i think... but for $100 i cant go wrong

15" winter, 16" summer

no reason to have bigger wheels on a FWD car

A bigger rim will not improve that.....

just keep all four corners the same size as each other, but DO pick up the set of 16's. if you don't like them, you can then sell them here. :)
