Think these will work?

Looking at buying some 215/60/R16 Winter Tires ... think these will fit okay?

Also, they're currently mounted on steelies that came off of an Impala. By doing some research, the Impala has a bolt pattern of 5x115 while the Mazda5 has a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 ... in theory, I doubt .7 of a mm will be a big problem, but what are your takes on this? I checked the offset, and the Impala is +52, so that is similar to Mazda5 as well.

Any tips or help is appreciated!

Can you explain why? Is it the wheels that won't fit? or the tires?

Thanks!

The hub is larger on the Impala, and I've seen 5x115 wheels on a car that had 5x114.3.... Might cause a vibration though, and not being hubcentric you're putting all that stress on the wheel studs.....

Then there's the tire size. Seems to be a BIT too big....

Thanks for the info.

I used to have 114.3 on my 115 bolt car without issues ... no need for a hubcentric ring/spacer as there were no vibrations or problems.

That's why I thought this might work, but don't have experience with it the other way around!

Cheers
