Post 205/55/R16's on stock GS wheels?
Hey guys, I have a quick question:
I have some almost new tires on my daily driver Cougar (don't laugh) they are 205/55/16 and I wan wondering if they will fit on my factory Lexus 16" wheels. The factory Lexus tire size is a 215/60/16, and I've been reading all over that it is ok to go smaller instead of over, just looking for some help! Thanks as usual!
