It has 205/50/R15 on it now. I know it originally had 185/60/R14, right? I just wanna make sure that the 215/60/R15won't bottom out when I hit a bump or rub when I turn or cause any other problems.

those are huge! if you're lowered then there's no doubt about it, you're gonna have rubbing issues. If you're not lowered they might not bottom out, but you'll most likely have rubbing if you turn real sharp.

and your speedometer reading is going to be 10.6% too slow. when your speedo reads 60mph you will be going 66.4mph

the width you need depends on thewidth of thewheel.most likely you have a 6.5" widewheel. if you do then 205 is the biggest you should use. and the 215 would be too big.

and the sidewall size is definetely too big and you will rub. you might be able to fit a 55, but i would just go safe and stick with what you already have in the 205/50.

Too big. For 16s, you'd want 205/45-16s, at the widest.

Alright good to know. Thanks.

I guess there's a reason that discount tire doesn't list them for the plus one sizes.

For the record, I'm not lowered but still I guess I'll stick with what works. There's probably a reason that the previous owner didn't go any wider or taller either.
