The 195/60s are going to be a good bit taller (~6%) than stock; the 205/55s less so (~4%).

you probably won't have fitment issues, though. They're not huge wheels, so it's not like you have to run some wacky tire size.

If you google 'tire size calculator,' this is the top result:

I recommend everyone bookmark it if they haven't already.

Nice wheels. 205/55-16 isn't huge. It's the stock size on the Subaru I used to have:



Yes, that's the best picture I have that shows the tires. That was taken after a weekend that involved blasting down dirt/mud roads at 60mph.

Sweet wheel choice kozmo. Can't wait to see pics of them mounted on that BCP.
