Got the tires from my old car. Got people saying I need tires for my new car. Seen people saying the old car tires will fit and people saying they won't fit.
Tires from the old car only got about 1500 miles on them before it was rearended.
Will my tires fit the new car?
Old car tires: 235/60R16
New car 2001 chevy Impala: 225/60R16

It depends, if you're moving the rubber from the old car to the rims of the new car it is probably no problem since the rim size, the "16" is the same. The only difference is the 235/225 which is the width of the tire in mm, so the old tires are 10 mm wider which could cause clearance issues if the wheel wells are tight, but it is small so probably no issue. If you're getting them remounted the tire technicians can answer it for sure.
If you're talking about moving the entire wheel, so rubber and rim it will depend on the bolt pattern of the rim since there are a hundred and one different variants and it is bad news if you try to use mismatched rims to the car.
Rims are staying with their respective tires.
My main concern is with steering clearance.
Tires have been stored for 3 years in a climate control environment. There is still some mud on them though. Were caked in mud when i got them back from the salvage yard, took them to a car wash twice.
You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.
Specs say the new car should only have up to 225 but the old car was heavier and faster so that shouldn't be a problem. More about physically fitting.
