Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question, but i really need to know this. Can I run a 205 width tire on a 15x6 rim? If so by how much do I need to reduce the tire height? The stock size for my car is 195/55 15, but I would like to get a 205 width since they are considerably cheaper. Any info anyone could give would be a lot of help. Thanks.

there should be no problem...

the biggest thing to worry about is really nothing major at all. your speedometer will be off by 1.6%. When your speedo reads 60 MPH, you are actaully going 59.0 MPH
