Replying to: dana14 (Nov 19, 2008 7:56 am) I don't think the brake calipers are any different between the V6 and V6 sport so the 16 inch wheel should work. Are you sure the wheel had the right backspacing?

Replying to: dana14 (Nov 19, 2008 7:56 am) I second this question. i have been looking for some good winter tires for my LSE, just want to put them on the stock 17s though
#7 of 7 Aftermarket wheels/snow tires by leadfoot4 Nov 20, 2008 (6:30 am)
I have a 2000 LS, and I've had the Dunlop Graspic studless snow tires on it for the last 8 winters. They're the 215/60/16s. I'm satisfied with them. In my situation, due to some circumstances that aren't relevent, I have my snows on my OE wheels, and the previously mentioned Falkens on a set of aftermarket wheels. I don't know if they're still available, because I haven't seen them advertised in quite a while, but the wheels are "MIM Venezia" wheels. I bought them from Discount Tire Direct. They look good, and clear the brake calipers. Just a caution...For the best winter performance, you want to have as narrow a tire as possible, to cut through the snow, as a wide tire tends to just plow along.
