The second number in those sizes is the aspect ratio. You would be changing overall height. The 215/65 will be 1.7 inches taller in overall diameter. Depending on vehicle and many other factors I cant tell you whether it would be acceptable on your vehicle or not. It is over the 3% max diameter change recommended by most manufactures.
That is a very close swap, so yes.
No, there is a 3.15% difference in overall diameter. This will cause your speedometer to be off 2 mph.
should grand. Its only the profile that's different.
The only difference is that 215 tires are taller. The first number in the name (215) indicates the tire sidewall height, the second part (55) is the tire tread width, the third part (r) shows that the tire is a radial tire, and the fourth part (16) indicates the rim size.
That size will work but your speedometer will be off .8 mph too fast.
I have a 2002 Nissan altima with tires 205/65R16 can I replace them with 215/65R15, the tires came on 5 bolt rims and will fit on the altima. If the tires are on 15 inch rims, you are ok. You can not put 15 inch tires on 16 inch rims, or 16 inch tires on 15 inch rims.
195/70-16 or 215/65-16 are both acceptable substitutes.
Absoulty not if the 255/70-16 is the OEM tire size. The 215 will be 13% smaller in overall diameter. You should never, ever go over 3% different. You would have to go to a 275/60-16 to even be close to 3% and then it would be 3.5% smaller.
Yes, it should - but it may not fit in your wheel wells, and will definitely throw off your odometer and speedometer as well.
First off you will have to install different wheels. Assuming you have 16" wheels to install the tires on the answer is yes. This is an very acceptable substitute. Your speedometer will read 60.3 at a true 60 mph with the 16" tires and your engine will turn 4.2 more revolutions per mile which is negligible. Go for it as you have made a very good choice.
yes. they will.
what tires and rims came on that car stock?
