Default Dodge Neon Snowflake rims on Shadow

I just bought a set of stock rims off a 2000 Neon, they're the snowflake pattern, 15" with 195-50-15 dunlops, will these fit my car?

Neon bolt pattern 5-100 (15"x6"), the Shadow is 5-100 (14"x6") so wheel width shouldn't be a problem.

185/70-14 stock tire on shadow, 195/50-15 on the new tires means the overall diameter of the tire/wheel will be smaller, the sidewall will be smaller, and the tire will be slightly wider.

Or use this calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html if you have a different tire size on the car now, you can then measure from you current setup to see if there will be any rubbing/interference with the new tires.

Ok, thanks. Theres no much tread life on the tires on the rims now, I'll need to buy new ones for next summer, they cost so friggen much! Would normal size tires fit good in there? like not low pro.

195/60-15 or 185/65-15 are almost the stock diameter, play around with the tire size calculator to find something you like. If they are summer only tires, wider (higher tread width number) will usually give more traction on pavement. Seeing as the tire/wheel is an inch larger diameter than stock tires will usually cost more anyways, the bigger the tire the more it costs.

Yes, tell me about it, tires are rediculous, ones for the rims are like $150 for the cheapest grade A TIRE, and some run up over $1000.

Well, I got the rims yesterday and put them on, I'am not expierienced in this field, and put them on by myself, dad pointed out the rear wheels where facing the wrong way, they had arrows pointing which way to face, that I missed. Anyways they fit fine on my car, and are running good, only $180 for the set of four, with four dunlop performance tires (worn) and lugs/nutlocks. I got a couple pics to show you.
