Which steel wheels will fit a Honda Jazz?

I have the chance of buying a nice 2005 Honda Jazz 1.2 with 14-inch steel wheels. However, the tyres are bald and need replacing. I can fit wheels/tyres from another car? I've seen quite a few for sale and am wondering if this will be cheaper than buying four new tyres.

The original Jazz came on 14-inch wheels with 175/65 R14 tyres or 15-inch wheels with 185/55 R15 tyres. These are common sizes of tyres. But I can't tall you if wheels from another make/model will have the correct stud pattern of offset. A slight difference in offset might give a bit more steering 'feel' at the expense of tyre wear.

From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
