LS wheels are what, 15x6? I would think they would be fine. As far as wheel spin inside the tire, only one way to find out

stock wheels are 15x6. I was talking to John from MandHtires.com aka SlickMH here on H-T and he told me the SRT-4 Neons run 15x6 with 24.5x8.5x15 all day long with no problems so I wouldnt see a problem with these. John knows his sh*t from what i heard him say for the hour i was talking on the phone so I believe him.

well, i had the same problem when i bought my slicks last week, Si stocks and really nothing else. I was going to mount them on the Si's but I decided to get Konig Heliums because they are cheap and SUPER light. The heliums are 15x6.5, I was going to get the konig rewinds which are 15x7 but they were just too ugly .
