Hey guys, my name is Alex, Im just checking in here from TorontoAccords.

I picked up a 2002 Altima 2.5S for my winter car since the Accord is way too low for winter

Just wondering, for winter tires/rims, can I downsize from 205/65/16 to a 15 inch wheel? If yes, what size tires are you guys running for winter on 15's?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Yes but why would you want to have THAT much sidewall? The 65 aspect ratio is about as high as a passenger car tire comes.

I don't think many people, if any would go through the trouble to find 15" wheels, so you might be a pioneer on this one.
