I'm upgrading my tires soon and want to get wider ones. I currently have 195/60/15 and want to go to 205/60/15 or 215/60/15 while still keeping my stock wheels. Besides the speedometer being off, are there any problems with the sizes? Let me know what you think. Thanks.

as you increase your tire width you need to decrease you side wall height, or else your tire will just get too tall and your spedomeder will be off. i would suggest some sizes closer to 205/55R16 or 215/50R15 you'll be fine

i just told the tire store to put the tallest and widest tires they could on.

Your best bet for a street application on the original wheel is the 205/60R15.

No concern about rubbing and the speedo will be affected by only 5-7%...IN YOUR FAVOR, but not enough to trip the speed sensor.

What size did they put on?

205 55 15, keeps it very close

or 225 50 15 if you feel like having your tire guy do a work out

In addition to the above recommendations, make sure that the tire width you choose is approved for use on a 6 inch wide rim (stock width). The tire manufacturer and places like Tirerack provide this information.
