Here's what I ended up going with:

Figured I spend $40 to upgrade to wheels instead of the steelies. Any final thoughts? If something doesn't work, I'll have to call in before the morning EST.

Thanks to everyone who helped!

Also, I see on an older post that those Audi tires are listed at $400 2 weeks ago, and I can probably get those for that price, so consider that.

HKSpeed

no way to tell until you actually try them on.
the audi ones from the first link should fit. TT brakes are huge. so if they clear TT brakes, then it'll clear tC brakes.

Leo_EdgeRacing

It seems like all those tires have a larger overall diameter than what the tC calls for. The wheels should work, but I would change the tire sizes.

bdaswat

what about those steelies (Snow tires, bridgestone blizzak, 195-65-15 - $225 (Murrysville) on the last link?

Leo_EdgeRacing

They are a bit taller than 215/45R17, but the same OD for 205/55R16 which is the size tire for a tC running 16's. You may get a bit of speedometer/odometer error. I would probably try to go with 16's.

swiber

I have steelies , 205/60QR-15 and with the Blizzak's the are the same size as the stock tires. After 2 winters the steel looks like ____ and the salt and sand sticks to the inside of the rim and goes off balance.

also check http://www.tirerack.com/snow/WinterP...9&autoModClar= they can help with wheel and tire sizing.

bdaswat

so none of these tires will work? those 16" $600 are sold and not an option anymore =/ Are you sure I can't use those ones that are $325? they would be great.

Leo_EdgeRacing

Wouldn't go smaller than 16". I've heard some 15's do not clear our brakes.

Update"

What is the offset I need for the tC? The lady I talked to at a tire store said 4", is that right? How about any of these?

I'm buying them this Friday so any help is appreciated!

Leo_EdgeRacing

The only ones that woulkd work with your bolt pattern is the '95 Cavalier, but your back ate the problem that some 15's do not clear tC brakes. All the other ones listed will not fit because they have the wrong bolt pattern.

bdaswat

will stock Toyota Corolla wheels fit without any adjustment? (they seem to come in 2 types according to tirerack, 195/60 and 185/60 I think I remember?)

bdaswat

I heard corolla wheels fit Scion tc's, so I searched using Corolla specs at Tirerack and was wondering if these 15" rims would work:

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price

Will all corolla wheels fit basically?

(getting that 15" rim above will still allow me to use like $60 cheap tire changes in both winter/summer tires since it's a more common wheel, right?)

Leo_EdgeRacing

They might work, but you are still risking the fact that they might not clear your brakes. From my understanding our calipers are slightly bigger than the Corolla's. Someone please let me know if I'm wrong.

bdaswat

well as long as they fit... i just got SUPER lucky and found a set...

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/907268297.html

Wintermark Radial HT P185/65 R15 snow tires

Let me know within the next 8 hours because I'm going to go pick them up I think.

bdaswat

*****ALSO WHAT ABOUT AN 05 IMPREZA? It has a 50 or 55mm Offset, that's an area I know nothing about... Will that work??

Leo_EdgeRacing

No. The offset is way too high.

SquallLHeart

if tC wheels fit a corolla absolutely fine....

bdaswat

Hope they fit =)
