i have the 05 multispoke rims that come as a basic option on the sport. can i fit these tires on these rims? i'd like to get as wide as possible, as i dont care about fuel mileage in the snow. big thanks

If you're getting tires specifically for the winter and driving in the snow, you don't want to go as wide as possible. Stick with something 195 or narrower, i'd even recommend 185. If you just happen to be getting new tires now, and you want the width for after snow time is over, then by all means try a 205. You just won't get the traction from a 205 in the snow that you will with a 185.

To answer your question directly, a 205/60R15 will fit on the stock rim just fine.

205/60/15 is a little big in general for the neon.
