07 Civic Winter tire size and lug nuts
« on: October 26, 2008, 10:33:08 am »
A friend has offered me his 195/65/15 Goodyear Nordics on CT steel rims.
I currently have 205/55/16 on alloy rims on my 07 Civic.
Will the winters fit and can I use the original lug nuts?
Thanks

Yes, except the bolt pattern sizing for the wheel may not be the same. What car did your friend have the snows on?
You can play with tire sizes here.

Then you're good to go - 5x114.3 bolt pattern for and '06 and '07.
You have my blessing.

Can you use the lug nuts from the stock alloy rims on the steel rims?

Thanks

That woudl depend on the seating surface shape of the alloy lug nuts. Are they acorn shape or flat? You'll most likely need the acorn shape for use with the steel wheels.
