A question about tires for GLE honeycomb wheels
The stock tire size for the honeycomb wheels is 205/65/15. My question is can I put on tires with a smaller aspect ratio? Like say, a 205/60 or 205/55? Thanks for any help.

You can put on 215/60/15 SE tire or 225/60/15 (sidewall will bulge slightly)

so 60 is the lowest I can go for the honeycomb wheels: 215/60/15. How about 215/55/15? I just do not want a fat sidewall with these tires.
