I want to put blizzaks on 16' audi oem 2 spoke rims for winter tires. Guy who owns tire shop says the rubber will fit on the wheel, but that the engine might rev higher. I am not that concerned about engine revving a bit higher, unless it is a lot higher.

How many more RPM's & MPH with 205/55 vs stock 215/55 ? I am guessing between 2.5 - 5% higher, is there a calculator that can tell me exact number(s)?

Default Saw the post right after I clicked Submit. Thanks, it helped me make up my mind.

Says it will be off 1mph, and 14 rpm, I can handle that.
