Yes, but they are 16 inch, I would bet there are a lot of choices for tires but they would have to be very low profile....

205/45R16's would fit nicely with a good solid shoulder width of wheel to tire. And is only a 1% difference in rolling diameter. But is a fairly low profile.

I am struggling finding new tires for my 14 inch rims. When I bought them years ago the shop where I bought them tried to talk me into 15 inch but i was too "thrifty". Now 7 years later there is a shortage of 14 inch tires readily available.

Might have to buy them just for the deal.

Do you think that would screw up the ride, or that much rubber muht overwhelm the suspension?

Less rubber than probably 15's. A lot more unsprung weight.

I was driving my 8 today and saw an Olds Cutless with 18 inch rims and it looked good. I bet it would look good. If I was not getting ready to try to buy my son his car I might consider it

Looks like they pulled the auction. Somebody must have done a direct deal.

The ride is stiffer. Low profile tires are also more susceptible to pothole damage.
