Blew out my winters. Need help with the quickness!
Tuesday, January 25, 2011 4:12 PM
So i hit a hidden curb today.

(damnit, snowbanks)
and blew out one of my tires, which caused me to completely destroy the rim as a result. (Dont fret, stock steelies, FOR THE WIN!)

NOW

Question is: I've got a buddy with a jetta who has his stock 16(?) steelies, wrapped with all seasons, and he's willing to let them go for only a 150.
Will these fit my 2001 sunfire/ any jbody WITHOUT having to be modded.

I have searched, and only found two threads. Please let me know ASAP. I need new tires on by TOMORROW at 7 AM!

Thanks! They fit fine. That's exactly what i had him do. I met him a town over, riding on flat rubber to get them on before class started.

Check those control arms and other suspension components.

If you hit it hard enough to blow the tire and bend the rim, you probably bent something else too...

Or at the very least @!#$ your alignment.
