I guess I should have said no then so that you wouldn't get pissed off. Most of us have 17's, and a few even have 18's, so no, unless you have like a 4 inch drop in your car you aren't going to have any problems with 16' tires.

Sweet how did you get free tires? I just bought a brand new set of Michellin winter tires (14's) for my winter driving. I paid $200 for the whole set, I think that is a pretty good deal.
