The tires on there now is from when I bought the car, I havent checked them yet. Im pretty sure their all seasons, Ill check tomorrow. Id probably keep stock set as winter set and get another set of wheels for summer.

well you have to know the distance between your hub and coils and make sure your rims clear that. other than that rims/tire dont affect much. they just have to clear your fenders,brakes and coils. are you lowerd or anything?
