The wheels will look way too small on the car, and greatly increase the already gargantuan wheel gap. And your speedo/odo readings will be off by a good deal. A small variance is okay, and not uncommon. The difference between these two sizes, however, is huge.

Type in the stock/new sizes here and you'll see why they won't work.

Odo speed will be wrong, ride height (road clearance) reduced and it's gonna look silly.

Check onlinetires.com for tire prices.
I have dealt with them numerous times and their prices seem to beat everyone else.
Make sure to call them before you order to make sure the tires are in stock. Their website isn't always fully updated so they may be out of stock or in-stock on some tires not listed.

Happy Hunting

The tires are fine as a 3 season tire. I've been using them for 3 years(summers/spring/fall) now and been happy.
DO NOT use them in the winter though here in Toronto as you will get nowhere in the snow/ice.

With that said the size of tires listed in the ad is wrong for your car and would be a reason for me to pass on them.

If your car is 4 bolt(i4) you should be looking for
15" 195/65/15 OEM
16" 205/55-16
17" 205/50-17
18" 215/40-18

If you're 5 bolt(v6) then
15" 205/65-15
16" 205/60-16 OEM
17" 215/50-17
18" 215/45-18

Op 4x100 wont fit your car. It has to be 4x114. Ive check these already and if your car is a 4cyl they wont fit. Save yourself the time and dont bother.

Same goes if you have 5 lug. 5x114. 5x100 wont fit

Edit: i have oem v6 rims coloured white. They have about a season left (spring - fall) Rims and tires came from black_cg2 from TAC or raul@6ga.
Pictures should be seen in my fs thread.
Set of 4 for 150$. If you want a set of winters on steelies i have em. 5 boltx114. Michelin. It has about 90% thread. Price is $450. Id suggest getting a set of summers and winters.

Some would prefer all seasons but for safety redundancy reasons, having a set of winters on rims is better.

Go to a used tire shop and get something to hold you over. Spend $100 on used tires and be happy you can hold on to the rest of your money for a rainy day. Just try to get the best ones you can find. I bet 001Stunna knows of a shop or two.
