I am wondering if I can get a set of used 15-16 inch rims/tires from a used auto parts store to run on my '08 Impala SS with the 18's? (235/50R18)

I was thinking of getting a set of winter tires/rims but need to know if a set of stock Impala LS wheels/tires would fit with no problems.

These wide Eagle RS-A's just float around on the snow, that combined with the torque-steer makes this thing downright dangerous in the snow/slush.

The Eagle RS-A is a V rated tire designed for dry weather, it does well in high speed and thats why the cops use them. It does not last long at all and does poorly in rain/snow. This is from personal exp. Get a decent brand "M+S" rated tire for winter and it will do much better for you than the RS-A
