Here are my facts:
2000 aero with stock aero rims on 225/45/17
Just purchased a set of identical rims as Jim B mentioned, 10 spoke rims from a 03 9-3 part number 1285709. I special order 215/55/16 Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice snow tires from Sam's club. Tires arrive today and dropped of car. Much to my suprise 3 hours later when i return tires were not mounted on car. Guy inside said they would not fit. They placed the un-mounted 215/55/16 snow tire next to my 225/45/17 mount tires and said the wheels were to large for the wheel well and would not allow me to turn the wheel. Call local dealer and they said a set of rims from an 03 9-3ss would not fit on my aero.
After i left Sam's Club in complete frustration i realized that the side by side comparision would not work, because the center of the wheels were not equal. If you actually mounted the 16 the car would be slightly higher, RIGHT????? but the wheels would fit inside the wells, RIGHT ????
Could someone PLEASE help me out. They are calling for snow/rain again this weekend and my summer 17" are not cutting it. So, is the offset on the 10 spooke wheel from an 03 9-3 (unsure if a cvt or ss) fit my aero? because i have an aero does the 55 size of the tire need to be smaller? or do i go back to Sam's club and have them mount the tires and see if they rub????
PLEASE HELP
