15x7 tire size

player1up said

Opinions needed for a daily driver. I've got some 15x7 rims from a mercury mountaineer that are going on my duster. I'm thinking about 205/60/15 tires?

Will 205's be wide enough for the rims or should I go with 215's or 225's
or will the 225's hit the leaf springs

The rims have about 1" of clearance to the leaf springs (leaves are in stock location)

Don't worry the merc logos are stickers

I'm running 255 x 60-15 with 15 x 7 rims on my Demon. But I believe the offset is 4.5 inches on my rims. If those rims are off a 4 x 4 they may have a ton of offset and 215's will be the most you can go and still leave 1/2" clearance to the springs. The only way to know for sure is go to a tire shop and get a couple of old different size tires mounted and see for sure and ya loose the Merc stickers. Good luck. :evil2:
