That is a nice, medium profile tire. The outside diameter of the tire should fit - but your wheel offset could get you... that is the only concern that I would have - and only on the front!!

Testimonial: "Thanks for your assistance...but unsure of which tire size you were referencing. How to check on offset before purchasing tires?? Thanx again. DonE "

    I was referring to the "70" series tire as being a nice medium profile. Low profile is something at 50 series or less. Then you said with the "right wheel" - which meant that you would use the expertise of the Wheel merchant to provide the correct width and offset for your car with either the 165 or 175 width. Both will work with your car (the direct answer to your specific question).

    You will get some speed indication change... your speedometer will read high (show 50 when you are doing 47 MPH - for example)

They will fit fine, you can use rims from a suzuki swift or numerous other cars to get to the 13". I have 155/80/13 on my Festiva right now without issues. The tires you mention would be shorter and just a little wider....there will be no issue.

I have a 2011 Chevy Equinox with a tire question. I currently have 225 65 R17 on factory 17" tires. What would be the biggest tire that would fit in the wheel well comfortably without any type of rubbing...

Always fit the size of tyres and wheels that is stated for your vehicle otherwise your drivers insurance may become invalid for driving a modified vehicle.

Will a 225/70 r16 fit a 2007chevy impala

As long as the Impala has 16" wheels on it. The tires will be a little big but should work if replaced as a set of 4.

Tires for 92 bucik regal

If you have 15" mags, you will need 15" tires.
The way tire sizes work is as follows:
  • The first number (205) is the TREAD WIDTH in millimeters;
  • The second number (70) is the percentage of the specified tread width the measurement between the tread and the wheel is (which means that the distance between the tread and the wheel is 143.5mm).
  • The third number, 15, is the rim diameter in INCHES.
Do a little math and you can figure out the proper size tire for your vehicle with the after-market wheels you are using.

I have a Nissan Maxima Problem with the Nissan Maxima 1997 Maxima I have a Nissan Maxima 1997 model the tyres size are P205/65R15. My question is Would Kumho 352 with rims diameter "16 fits on them?

If your wheels are 15" (you said they are) you cannot put a 16" tire on those wheels.
If the 16" ones are on wheels you need to physically check for proper clearance and offset so that they don't interfere with suspension or body parts. If the tire height on the new tires is higher than the originals it will put additional stress on the driveline and could cause problems. (it adversely affects the mechanical advantage you get from the differential gears)
