Rim size question
Hi everyone. I am interested in buying steel rims (used) for my 2007 Outlander. Right now my Outlander has the rims that came when I purchased it. I believe they are 16x6. For the past few seasons I have been mounting my winter tires on these rims. Now I have a chance to pick up a set of rims for 50 bucks. The rims are 16 by 16.5 Will my 215/70/16 tires that I already own fit these rims. The bolt pattern is proper, and according to sites online the rims will fit They came off a Buick Rendezvous. I'm just concerned about rim width, and what difference it plays. Thanks to all in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

more details
You need a couple of other specs to make sure they fit. The offset of the rim is important, as is the hub hole size. The outlander uses a 67.1mm center bore on their wheels, if buick's are smaller, they won't fit. The offset on the stock tires is 35 or 40mm( i can't remember which). If you are too far off on the offset the tire's will stick out or rub inside the wheelwell.

Can anyone recommend good 235/70/16 tires?
Thanks!

The 235/70/16 Tyres lift the vehicle about 14mm. No rubbing problems and according to the GPS the speedo is now spot on.
I am using Toyo Open Country and find them a lot quieter than stock Yokohama's. They grip just as well and even in the snow I had no problems. So far only done 7000k on them. no sign of wear as yet. Hope this helps.
