Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
The stock wheels are 15 x 6 inches so you are quite limited on tire choices unless you go to a larger wheel such as a 17 x 8 inch.
With the 15 x 6 inch wheels the best option is 225 - 60 -15 but this will give you a slightly lower rolling diameter than the original stock tires at 205 70 15. The 225 is a good width for that car though and 225 60 15 is an approved size on a 6 inch wheel.
Most any GM 3.1 should interchange, You might try going to www.car-part.com and search for your application. They have a built in Hollander interchange that will offer any interchangeable part for your application.
If you have 15" mags, you will need 15" tires.
The way tire sizes work is as follows:
The first number (205) is the TREAD WIDTH in millimeters;
The second number (70) is the percentage of the specified tread width the measurement between the tread and the wheel is (which means that the distance between the tread and the wheel is 143.5mm).
The third number, 15, is the rim diameter in INCHES.
Do a little math and you can figure out the proper size tire for your vehicle with the after-market wheels you are using.
If you have the standard factory 15 inch (diameter) x 6.0 inch (wide) wheels then the tires fitted were size: 205/70R15 (205 is the tyre width in mm and the 15 denotes the tyre bead diameter in inches for fitting to 15 inch wheels. The R denotes the speed rating of the tire).
The tires currently fitted to the car have the size moulded into the sidewall of the tire.
However I do not know if aftermarket wheels have been put on the car and if so a different size tire from the standard factory fitment may have been fitted to the wheels.
They both should be the small chevy bolt pattern. Take a tape measure and measure across the lug nuts at a diagonal center to center on both. If they're the same, it will work.
want to swap wheels, not just tires
