Plus zero fitment on 15" wheel

[andrewjc]

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this? I was looking at going with 205/60/15 tires. Not sure if it's worth the hassle or should I stick with stock? Thanks....andy

What's OEM ?

It's 195/65/15. I looks at a couple of online calculators 205/60/15 seems to be the best fit.

Plus 0 offset? Probably won't fit all that great unless the wheel is 6" wide.

I did plus zero on mine with 16's.

Went from 205/55/16 to 225/50/16. Much better handling and fit is fine on my OE rims:

OE's


225/50's




The rims are both OE and the same size. I found a set of OE black rims and am using the silver rims for my OE sized winter tires.

Using this site should help a lot. Factory fender to hub distance is ~85mm as I recall.

Site seems to be down now, but I assume it will come back up.

I use the actual tire manufacturer's specs when looking at this - not a "generic" tire size charts. While in theory, all tires the same size should have the exact same dimensions - in practice there is a variance.

The OE 195/65/15 Hankook's are 24.9" tall. The OE Hankook 205/55/16 is also 24.9" tall.

Most 205/60/15's are going to be between 24.6 and 24.8" tall. A 215/60/15 will be around 25.1 - 25.3" tall.

Either size will fit on the OE rim and will fit fine on the car. No rubbing or scraping at all.

I like to use tirerack.com to help with tire selection researh. Using their tire lookup I can easily find tires that have the performance characteristics I want and get the actual manufacturers tire specifications.

I think I'm going to get Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring tires. With a $70 rebate they are seem like the best option for the money.

Wow thats a good price on 4 tires plus free shipping. and then a rebate.
Specs seem good though I'd like to see a review.

Don't forget to check out discount tire... they do a lot of Internet matching plus they are all over the place

I plan on using Discount Tire Direct. I just have been busy and have not pulled the trigger yet. I'm pretty sure the Cooper discount goes until 31 OCT.

After all this I ended up going with stock tire size. The CS5 Ultra's are an excellent tire so far. I'll have to see how they do when we get some snow.
