I'm wondering if 215 tires will go on our rims. I'm sure 205 will, but I'm not sure if 215 will be pushing it

A 215 should fit alright. I think we have a 15x6 or 15x6.5. The new Nissan Maximas have a 17x6.5 and they run a 225 from the factory.

215's would probably be pushing it. Looks like I'll just stick with 205's. Thanks everyone

I run 225's, thats the max for 15 x 6, 215 will fit but not for 45 series and smaller. 215/50/15 will be fine, I checked the Kumho web sight and they list sizes and rim widths to match.

if you are going to race I would say 215, but you need to run 55 series, 205/50/15 is too small, even 205/55/15. you need to run 205/60/15 IMHO, with the large wheel opening 60 series would be better that running a smaller tire.

damn, I was wanting to step down to at least a 55 series with the 205's. Oh, well. I'll just look into some aftermarket rims. I don't think I want 17's anymore. 16's will probably be the biggest I'll go
