Size of tires ?

Yes it will work with certain proviso's

2 The rolling diameter needs to be the same (This is to ensure your speedo continues to give a correct reading and to also ensure the gearing also remains the same) so with a smaller diameter wheel you will need to use a tyre with a higher aspect ratio. Say a 75 instead of a 65 or 55. Any good tyre fitting place should be able to advise you on exactly which size to use.

Thanks for the heads up on tires guys. I figured that I could use the 14 inch rims. I guess I best just buy new winter tires on my 15 inch rims. Thanks again.

In addition to the other replies I think it is wise to check that the rims stay clear of brake-calipers and other parts before You do anything else.

The wheels are not the same even though at a casual glance, look the same.

Escort 4x100 bolt pattern, plus 36mm offset, 54.1 mm hub.

Rims will not fit.
