So, aside from wheel well clearance, the nut to crack is 4(studs)x100(mm) vs 5(studs)x112(mm). It's like putting Porsche wheels on a VW, you can use adapters or get blank drums and rotors and have them drilled for the correct pattern. But get the rims and first set of tires from a wrecking yard.

Personally though, I feel my car performs much better in snow/rain/dry conditions than it did with the poker chips it came with stock. But maybe that's the placebo effect, mind over matter.

There's rim vs tread width, rubber compound, tread pattern, shoulder radius, inflation pressure. Different tires have different uses — street/track/off road.
