Will a 15" x 6.5" rim work on a vehicle calling for 15" x 6" rims? Also, can the 15" x 6" tires fit on said rim?

Yes. Shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you, sir.

There will be a SLIGHT height/width difference because you are mounting the tire on a slightly different sized rim. It should be a non-issue, however.

Make sure that the offset of the new rim is somewhat close to the rims you are taking off.

I've seen many cases of wheels not fitting because the offset was way off, and either the wheels stuck out too far or they hit the brake caliper. What wheels are you putting on what vehicle if you don't mind me asking?

Wheel offset = The distance of where the wheel mounting surface is opposed to the centerline of the wheel. A zero offset wheel has its lug nut position in the direct center. A +45 wheel is 45 millimeters closer to the outer edge, so the wheel will sit in towards the car more. Too close and it often hits the brake caliper depending on the design of the inner wheel surface.

Usually the offset of a wheel is stamped somewhere on the inside of the spokes. It will be something like +40, +41, or it may state offset=41

They're from a 2004 Toyota Camry (OEM) going on a 1995 Toyota Previa.

I'm thinking that the hub offset should be ok.. What is the difference in profile? (It's the # that should be either in the high 100's or low 200's in the tire size.. I forget the letter before it..)

Could look funny & affect handling.

It's an AWD Supercharged version, I prefer to call it a Mini Assault Van.

I'm not married or divorced or have any children that I know about (elbow to ribs.)

It handles well in all sorts of shitty weather and goes fast when needed, plus you know how many dead hookers you can haul...;)

You know I'm just busting your balls..

You'd be surprised how much a difference tire size (3D) makes with some cars, especially cars that sway in turns.

It's also a mid-engine, which balances the weight nicely.

A little ballbusting is no big deal.

Just make sure the tires can handle the hookers. Flex in tire bias is bad in poor conditions like snow. You must trust me.

Nothin's worse than having a blowout during a snowstorm, or during a blowjob.
