Winter Tires

I am thinking of buying these winter tires almost new but the size is 215/60/R16 they are bigger than the all season ones I have now 215/55/R16
Will there be any issues with this size was worried about them rubbing on the inner fenders.
I have stock suspension.

Re: Winter Tires

Typical rule of thumb is to keep wheel diameter within 3% of factory. What you're suggesting is 3.4%, so it's a bit high (yes, 0.4% matters). The issue has less to do with rubbing (those won't) and more to do with speedometre calibration and what the car is designed to handle. You'll most likely be fine though.

Re: Winter Tires

I appreciate the response and explanation Thx
Yokohama is the brand and they have about 5K on them really good tread left.
I will go ahead and buy them and get them mounted on the spare rims I have.
