Any help would be appreciated...it looks like I can swap my Fusion winter tires onto my 2012 Focus SE tires. Any idea's if it will look funny or rub? Here's all the info.....

Can I swap my winter tires off my sold "Ford Fusion SE 215 55 60 and use them on my new "2012 Ford Focus Hatchack SE 205 60 16" for the winter season?

The winter tires are studded Artic General Altimax and they only have 5000 miles on them. They handled really well on my 07 Fusion SE (4cylinder) and I would like to use them on my Focus SE 2012 Black Tuxedo

If by this you mean 215/55/16 and then put them on your focus, which has 205/60/16, you're dropping the width and getting a bigger, percentage-wise, side wall. This is common when you can find tires in the size the manufacturer suggests. Since it's only 10 mm wider than stock, even if you had your car lowered drastically, I dont see rubbing being an issue. So I'm quite certain you can use them. I can't say 100% because nothing is certain until you do it and find out. But there's a great chance there won't be an issue. And the 1.5% difference in speed is negligible. Think of it this way: if you're going 100 mph, your speedometer will say somewhere between 101-102
