A bit of advise please.
I bought 4 really nice Kumho steel radial 722 tires, size 205 65/15 at a garage sale.
I am currently using 205 60/15 Tires. The new ones are a bit taller but I'm unsure if it will be an acceptable fit.
Also bought two steel rims at the local U-PULL-IT. Hope to pick up some snows before long. All advice willl be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all the help here over the years, Especially the FAQS.

Your calculator is very helpful. I can use that on a number of tires changes.
Thanks Mike

Softer ride and the speedo will read less than you're actually going, but they fit just fine.

FWIW, I've even ran 205/70/15's before, so.
