15" wheel package comparable to 14"
OK guys, the first number on the tire size is the tread width... 205 is 205mm wide, 215 is 215mm wide.... the 2nd # is the ratio between tread width and sidewall height. a 215/70/14 means 215 wide, sidewall is 70% of that, and it fits on a 14" wheel. in order to keep the same width and overall height, you need to keep the 215 and change the sidewall ratio (70). 215/60/15 is the same width but the sidewall will be shorter.... Adding the larger rim makes the overall tire/wheel combo a bit taller again but it would still be a bit shorter than what you have now.
225/60/15 would be 10mm wider than what you have now but probably be the closest overall dimensions to your current tire/wheel combo.
Go to a tire store and tell them what you want to do, they can help you out... they will get all excited and give you a quote with different options that will fit your car.
