yea 205/55/16 will fit. factory 16" rims are 16x7 and come with 205/55/16's on them. make sure you get the correct offset and blot pattern though, i noticed on the page that its just marks the offset as "high" and doesn't even list a bolt pattern.

I did see that, but the application guide says it will fit Cavaliers.

Factory ls sport wheels are 16"x6" Not 16"x7". A 225/50/16 would be better but the 205/55/16 will fit. Just make sure they are 5x100mm and find out the offset.

According to the specs they have a 42mm offset. They'll fit fine but Id go with the 225mm tire like already said.

225's will have much better handling.

Make sure to go with 225/50-16.

well, eventually I will go with the 225s. but for now, as long as it is safe to do so, I'll run the 205s since I have 4 fairly new ones.

thanks for the input

Well I wouldn't say that 225's will give you MUCH better handling... if you think about it, 20mm wider is only around 3/4 of an inch.. not that much.

205/55/16's on a 7" wide rim is pushing it, thats why. 3/4" is a lot more tire to me(on a J, where you can't run fat tires)
