Yes, I have them and no problems. Mine are the 15s off a 2002 PT with stock size tires from the Neon. Put about 20,000 miles on them, I keep the set as back-ups now.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

yup, no problems at all.

the srt-4 acr comes with a 15" PT steelie for a spare, so it will fit our brakes just fine.

I run 205/60R15 on stock struts and Goldline springs all winter with no rubbing problems. I probably wouldn't go any bigger than that.
