I need to know if 205/65/R15 tires will fit on my 15" Rotas. I have been looking for tires lately and I came across this cheap set but they are 205/65/R15. I need to know if it'll fit, and I need to know like in less then an hour. Thanks guys.

well the 65 is just a percentage of the tire width (205) for the height of the tire, or sidewall (I think), and I know a 205 width will fit on my 15" 6.5" wide rota circuit 8's, so I would say yes, they will fit, just you will have a huge sidewall.

ok cool huge sidewall is no problem when you pay 10.00 per tire for 80% tread. thanks alot.

It will be over 2" bigger in diameter than what you need. It will look like poo, just pass up the deal and wait for some 205/50/15's or even some 195/55/15's

[imported_camelian]

i wouldn't get them just because of a good deal. They look bad and you will have room for a lot more sidewall flex

Also if it matters your speedo will be all mest up as well.

it will change the overall diameter/circumferance of your wheel. Therefore it will have fewer revolutions per minute, or in other words.. it wont reach a complete circle as fast as your current wheel does. And since your speedo doesnt know this.. itll read it wrong. it can say 30MPH while your actually doing 40+MPH. Plus its illegal.

Kyle is 100% right on that one!

If you go to an on line wheel tire site, you can see the re-sizing charts so you'll know what to get.

Def. a handy think to know BEFORE you get em' mounted and start rockin' down the road.

Another note: If you were to tuck those 65 series rubbers under your ride, it'd look like a 4x4, lol

Good luck bro!

Everything didn't line up great from copying/pasting the specs, but your speedo will be off and your car will be decently slower due to the change in gearing. Trust me, just keep steelies on your car until you can afford something decent. By the time you buy the tires and have them mounted and balanced, you will have $80 tied up and it will look worse than steelies, IMO.
