Do 16s fit a GT?
I'm in desperate need of winter tires,
came across and set of cheap 16 inch tires
will 16s fit with the GT brakes?
and what size of 16s will work?
215/65/16 are the winter tire sizes..
what do you guys think?

If by GT you mean a manual trans 8 then no, they won't fit. I have 17s on my base manual trans 8, and they barely clear the calipers. 16s wouldn't have a hope. 16s are standard on the Automatic, but I'm not sure what packages on the auto might give you larger calipers. The standard calipers will take 16 inch wheels. That's all I've got. Someone else might know more.

You might be in luck. Try searching the forum for this question particularly in the "Tires, Wheels, Suspension section" of the forum.
Search functions are found in the upper right hand part of the screen. I am pretty sure that you should be able to find this question answered before. If not, others might know if the GT spec on the Auto includes larger brake calipers.

Hey -
I did a little searching, and I agree that it wasn't easy, but I found the below, which seems to point to you having larger front calipers like the Manual transmission cars. I don't think that 16s will work, but I still can't say that with authority having never looked into it myself.
Best of luck - H
