I went from 215/60x15 on 15x7 wheels to 205/55x16 when I switched to 16x7
Konig Rewinds. I chose that tire size because the 205/55x16" tires are .3"
smaller in diameter and .5" narrower in section width than the 215/60x15. My
car is lowered on Good springs all around. I went a little smaller in order
to eliminate (I hope) a slight rub at the outer edge of the tire on the
fender lip when the car is fully loaded and is driven over a significant dip
or bump. I only have about 150 miles on this setup so far, thanks to Old Man
Winter, but so far so good.
