97 SE Tire Size Question

Hey Guys,

I have a 97 GLE and purchased some 96 SE stock rims from Bejay1. Pepboys has some tires on same and I was wondering if their sizes of 215/60-16 will fit properly and look right. In the faqs sections I see that 215/55-16 is the normal sive for those rims. Those sizes are very close to each other and the Pepboys tires should work for me. I just wanted your opinion to be sure.

Thanx...

Just bought my max 3 months ago and I'm luvin it!!!!!!!!

They'll fit, but your speedo will be off.

Why would you want tires from Pepboys? Performance wise they usually don't have anything decent, just real cheap. I bet if you looked you could find some great tires for similar money elsewhere.

You can use 205/55/16 or 215/55/16 to keep the speedo close to normal. 215/55/16 is what came from the factory. I would go with that.
