A little bump...

I'm buying winter tires for my girlfriend car (195/60/R15). I am looking on kijiji and find a variety of tires and I basically put it in a tire calculator and try to get something within 3%. Now my understanding is you need to check 1) Tire size and 2) Rim bolt pattern. The car is 5x100mm so no other pattern would work for that? And if I were to buy the rims itself, do all tires fit onto 15' rims if I buy 15' tires? So say the rims were to come off a Van, could they fit my car?

Thanks!
