205/65R15

How do I know if these will rub on the wheel well?

 

They will not. They are close to the same diameter as the 205/55R-16.

 

They will not fit, or they will not rub on the wheel well? I want to be absolutely sure so I don't have to eat the shipping cost if I have to return them

 

What size ar you running now, and why are you downsizinf to 15"?

I'm currently running 215/50R17... studded winter tires were expensive in that size, so I bought 15" steelies and a set of studded 205/65R15 Winterforces, which turn out to be the only about .1" bigger in circumference.

 

You should have no problem. P205/60R-15 would be better. I currently run P245/45-17 on mine which are taller and wider than stock with no problems.

 

Will the 15 inch clear the caliper? My 16 inch are close.

 

I have that exact size tire on 15'' rims. The rims are from a malibu, and they fit perfectly on the ls version like mine, I due not know about the other models. the tire's are not ribbing anywere. and rims are clearing the front calipor

 

Hmm....I was looking at getting 16" steelies with winter tires for my LT (currently running the stock 17" wheels) but maybe I can save a few more dollars going with 15's.

How weird does it look going from 17" wheels to 15" ones I wonder?
