Hi all,
I basically know nothing about wheels and tires. This is what I want to do. I need to know if it will work!

I ordered my MC with the 5 star rockets.
Specs: 5.5" x15" 175/65 R15
Here is a link to a picture of them: http://www.mini2.com/forum/general-d...eks-today.html

I want to put Pirelli 190 Snowcontrol tires on the stock wheels. Here is a link to the tires: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....m=765TR5W190SC

Question #1: Will that work?

Question #2: Will 15" Flik Fuel wheels fit the stock tires?
Specs: 15x6.5
PCD: 4x100
ET: 40
Weight: 12 lbs.
Here is a link to the wheels: http://www.edgeracing.com/wheel/1324/

Also, how much do you think it would cost at a tire shop to get all this done?

Thanks!!!!!

 

Question 1
Yes the snow tire will fit the stock rim OK.

Question 2
Using 175/65-15 tires on a 15x6.5" rim isn't the best fit. The stock tires are designed to fit rims 5 to 6" wide but will stretch to fit a rim 6.5" wide. A tire specialty shop could do it. I'd say it's possible but not optimal. Poor fit could lead to some air leak and increased tire wear.

The cost of mounting and balancing tires on rims varies. It's about $20-30 per tire in my area.
