Since you have a 2002, if the rims are still the ones that came with the car, you have either 16's or 17's right now. if you have the 7-spoke rims, those are the 17's from the C7 package (color-keyed door handles, resonator, shorter throw on manny, better steering wheel, etc.), otherwise, they're 16's. So, as you said, if you get the right offset and so forth, 16's would fit fine. I had 16" steelies for winter for a while, and worked fine til they were more rust than steel.

Wom Mcintosh stereo! Cherry find! I have 210k miles on my Coupe and she runs strong.

Post plenty of pics of the stereo and installation please.

I have the stock 17's on it. This guy wouldn't have put anything after market on the car. Is there a difference from the C7 package and the Evolution package that I keep hearing about around here?

Yeah the whole custom stereo setup is AMAZING! Some people may not find it as something that exciting, but I pretty much lived for car audio when I was 16-19 and I always knew McIntosh as the holy grail of car audio. I'll get plenty of pics for you Liquid!

Yes, the Evolution package is the Canadian version of the US C7 package, and adds better floormats, with the additional part going to where our deadpedal should be. Otherwise, similar.

Oh, it does add a lifetime supply of maple syrup and moose droppings as well.
