What's the largest size tire can you put on a 15" Rim? i know the OEM size is 215/60/15, but I was wondering what the maximum size would be. Right now I'm too broke to afford new rims!!!!

hmm

you can go wider, meaning from 215 to 225.... The sidewall will bulge a bit, nothing bad, but might be helpful in tight turns... Changing the middle # 215/>>>60<<</15 will throw off the speedometer a bit, giving you wrong speed readings, although very slight.
