Default Anyone use 215/60 R15s on a CQ?

I've got H&Rs and Bilsteins. Found a set of 1-season old blizzaks locally and am curious if anyone has used this size?

**edit** On stock Speedlines, btw.

Default I have the same question, but with 215/55/16...

...have a set of barely used M3s, and the CQ needs new shoes in a big way.

Default 205/60/15s here. Shouldn't be a problem going up another 10mm on the width.

I'd say you're fine to run those

Default Yeah, I spent 45 mins doing out that math myself last night...

comparing 205/60 15 which I have on there now
with 195/65 15
with 215/60 15 - proud to say I came out with the same 1.9% difference (!), which is acceptable, but I was curious about the physical fit/ rub possibilities

My current Blizzaks are totally wasted too and I'm having a hard time finding some replacements that don't cost an arm and a chicken wing!

Default for snows, you definitely DONT want to go wider AND taller than

stock...

For snow, narrow and taller is better!

these would be better...

5mm on each side should still fit fine, unless you were already really, realy close.
