Re: quick tire question
Yeah it should be fine, the rim will protrude slightly more since the tire will be narrower, but they will fit. Ive seen far worse mounted on 16's.

Re: quick tire question
I believe those are the sizes that came on the 97. Should be just fine stock is 225/55 R16 I believe.

Re: quick tire question
Yes. That is the stock size for a 97. The fit fine and are less expensive!

Re: quick tire question
I should be picking them up Saturday if they look evenly worn. I am crossing my fingers because it seems like a really good bargain for a used set of Blizzaks.
I plan to do a lot of skiing this year so it will be nice to have snow tires.
