Winter wheel help

I am trying to figure out if these wheel/tire combo will fit w/o rubbing, my car is an 02 P5. They came from a FWD 03 Acura ?, so the offsets should be "close" enough. I can't find an offset listed on the back of the rim though, just a wheel size. They are 16x6.5 rims with 205/60/16 Blizzaks. Any idea? Thanks!

You might want to go to a general service place, like Canadian Tire here or the equivalent in US (Pep Boys?). Ask them for their part number for steel rims (basic variety) for your car and the one the winter wheels came from. If their two part numbers match - you got it.

Winter tires

A 205/60/16 will be WAY too tall.

Ok, so I tried to test fit the wheel/tire combo and it is a no go. First of all, even though the wheels is 5x114.3 the inner ring on the hub ( the part that is around the hub nut) is to big for the wheel. I could have ground some metal out of the back of the rim to make them fit, but I think I will just put them up for sale. Second, the tire looks like it would have cleared the strut up front, but there is less tire to strut clearence in the back, so it looks like they wouldn't have fit in the rear. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
