The tires and rims must both be 20" of course (diameter of wheel must equal diameter of tire`s opening), but other than that it`s a matter of whether the widths of the rims are compatible. As long as you don`t get rims that are a lot wider/more narrow than what you have now the tires should fit fine.



There are general guidelines (which I can`t quite remember) about how wide a tire you should put on how wide a rim. The salesman oughta know this stuff, but watch that he doesn`t try to sell you a bad combo just to make a sale. The people at the TireRack are great when it comes to this stuff, even if they *do* tend to err on the side of caution.

That is for replacement tires/wheels for the originals. As Accumulator said, if you are going to change to 20" wheels (I presume you don`t have them now), you will need 20" tires.

Search for "wheel and tire" packages instead of just "wheels", and then see if the recommended tire is the same as what you have now.

I agree with Accumulator. You could take a second opinion from a mechanic or consult an online expert who can give you the proper guidelines regarding the tires and rims. Certain online stores like Auto Wheels / Rims / Covers - OEM Alloy/Steel Wheels & Rims, Custom Wheel Covers for Cars & Trucks can also give you a proper guideline and provide used auto parts as per your vehicle make and model with a 1 year warranty.

I`d find a forum that caters to your specific car. There will likely be people that have tried various wheel sizes.

My worry there is the way people like/tend to do stuff like putting too-wide tires on rims and they say "hey, it`s just fine!" even though it`s a catastrophe waiting to happen. The old "internet expert" thing
